Good Morning

The Writer, Vernon Wade

Vernon Wade is a poet, author and freelancer. He has been published in The Gorge Literary Journal, Dualsport Rider Magazine, Hack’d Magazine, The Sidecarist, ROB Magazine and The Hood River News.

The world fills him with wonder. When he looks at the sky he is lifted into flights of fancy, when he stares at the earth he is drawn beneath its surface. He is delighted to find the macrocosm and the microcosm equally mesmerizing.

Overcast with heavy dew. Fog is eddying into the canyon, flowing through the trees from all directions.

I woke up at two and lay there in bed for awhile. I decided to try some meditation.

I had a good breathing rhythmn going when an errant thought intruded: “this is working better than it ever has before” followed immediately by “you’re doing it backwards.”

I gave up and went to sleep, which actually was the whole point.

I do amuse myself.
