Update

Scene three revisited revised as Jessie emerges
Thesis booklet revisions proceed at a snail’s pace
Lots of cooks needed in that kitchen
Compiling and analyzing student program evaluations and surveys, tedious.

And then along comes Ranger
13 weeks old white with some orange spots
And a fearless disposition
Shadows’ new best friend
and laughter fills this cabin
as the little terrorist teaches
both his big brother and me
new ways to approach life—take
everything and take nothing seriously.

The rain washes this part of the earth clean.
