The Urgent Rabbit and the Patient Oak

poem and summer updates

Hiking break

                Right Now I See 

A monarch butterfly, 
a neon green bug, 
blackberries clustered wild— 
surprises with every step.

A rabbit races toward us, 
urgent while we linger. 
Rocks shift, roots emerge
from patient earth.

We rest under the great oak, 
mighty in its years. 
Shade welcomes woodpeckers,
bluebirds, and the breeze 
that finds us here.

What's one tiny detail from your day today that you almost missed?


Summer Updates:

Move. Write Connect. meets July 16 & July 23. For details and to sign up, click here.

Monday Zoom write-togethers will continue throughout July: I won't be able to lead the group on 8/4 and 8/11. I'll try to find someone to host these sessions. If not, I’ll see you back on August 18.

Summer break: I will be unplugging to spend time with family starting July 29. I’ll be back in your inbox on August 18.

Project Updates: My next book, Miles of Meaning: From Doubter to JFK 50 Mile Finisher, is currently in the editing phase! I'm excited to share updates and reveal the cover in the coming month.


Thank you for being here with me,

Julie
