Thankful Thursday: Glide

Steady rain on the river today

and we paddle through the pour.

Calm waters quiet the mind

and I finally feel the glide.

Hush, muted, muffled, tranquil, peaceful . . . I’ve run out of words for quietude, but I never stop looking — for the moment and the telling. This week I am thankful for light rain, a shift in perspective, a gentle river, steady love, and this poem:

Haiku (for you)

love between us is
speech and breath. loving you is
a long river running.

— Sonia Sanchez
