Our Stuff   You didn’t want a birthday present — so you said, and I’m holding you to it. True, we’ve got lots of stuff, our place is a showcase   of stuff — we’e blessed with more than enough — too much, maybe. Too many things. You know it, I know it. So I’ll give you this puff   of cool breeze on a hot day, this bright blue sky ringing with birdsong. This is the stuff of love — our abundance, our plenitude.                                                                      for Marti     © Michael Fleming Dummerston, Vermont June 2024
