Easter Memories

Easter memories--
like the faux grass
from childhood Easter basket
that was scattered across
the linoleum
in my Grandmother's living room--
collect in odd corners
of my mind.

Gratitude List For 10 Jalál

Today I am thankful...
          ...that I can read the Baha'i Scriptures online, because I can access them with my smartphone and read them in the evening or morning.
          ...for breakfast pastries to go with my coffee this morning.
          ...that my Bank of America checking account is not overdrawn today.
          ...that I have completed twelve poems of the two-hundred I'm writing in celebration of the Bicentenary of the Birth of the Bab.
          ...that I could transfer money from my PayPal account to my checking account.
