A RIDDLE

Who am I?
I am so small I can fit in the palm of your hand
Or clip on your shirt
(or your bra, so I’ve heard).
Yet I swell to fill your whole universe.
I tell time;
count steps.
I go fast or slow;
Forward or back
Start & stop;
At exact spot.
I inform, instruct, entertain
Science, history, literature, music, comedy, drama.
While you are:
Making beds,
Hanging clothes
Fixing dinner
Doing dishes
Dusting
Washing windows
Cleaning drawers
Folding clothes
Sewing
Mending
Driving or riding in a car, train, bus, plane.
Mowing lawn, vacuuming.
Harvesting garden: tomatoes, beans, squash,
Swiss chard, peppers, basil, broccoli & on and on.
Playing games; doing puzzles; reading the newspaper.
Exercising:
Triking
Vibrator
Gravity Inversion Table
Urban Rebounder
Treadmill
Walking, hiking
Ball, roller, straps, stretching.
Yoga.
Oh yes,
Yoga on the deck while the sun colors
the morning clouds a wondrous billowy pink

Brilliant.
Yet, I couldn’t do it without Amy.
 WHO AM I?
Hint:  I’m Hot Pink.

FOOT PRINTS

"Make foot prints on the sky,"
the yoga voice instructs.


I like that.
It makes me feel lofty,
Like I’m touching heaven.
