it's the itty tiny things 

that will keep us sane

the watering of plants

know and remember

to keep a thing alive

turn toward the light

 test soil temperature 

 give thanks and love

At our house it is indeed the itty things:

one egg instead of two for breakfast

are we rationing or in communion?

of so many others with less or none.

We eat a healthy meal mid-afternoon 

it serves as both lunch and dinner

it allows us time to digest in all ways

and though listening doesn't get easier 

and the news shared is heart-breaking

and unknowns stack up like sad numbers

we still sit and hold hands.
