There are few sights as beautiful

As those you love

Sitting

Unselfconsciously

In love

With those you love.

.

Let your heart take a picture,

To recall as needed.

Elders

Posted on July 7, 2019 by eteal

The elderberry bushes bare fruit even as they continue to flower.

Inside we learn to eat the weeds

While outside a family of ducks shows us how.

The summer sun warms us as we pluck berries.

The earth is designed to heal,

As are we.

Drip

The roof

Leaks

Splats,

Drips

Fall.

We however do not.

Peace

Posted on July 5, 2019 by eteal

Inside out

Upside down

Peace must dwell within,

For peace to dwell at all.

Holy Spirit

Posted on July 4, 2019 by eteal

The rain stopped .

Then the smallest of birds

Brown, tan, black & white,

Swooped down

On a shaft of slanted sunlight

Right to me!

Looking just like all those pictures of the Holy Spirit

.

Pay attention to the smallest of messengers

For they light the way.

Stormy

Posted on July 2, 2019 by eteal

Texted messages from tax dollars at work

Ping and ring

As winds rose up

And the skies began to weep.

Noses were counted…

But where was the littlest?

.

Safe and sound

And close to the ground

Hiding in the studio.

Where She was found.

Art can save us in surprising ways!

Meadows of balance

Posted on July 2, 2019 by eteal

Thinking of meadows

And fields

Out there beyond,

Where I will meet You,

Thinking

of the Way

&

Of the Paths

And the lines between light and dark…

Between day and night.

Zephyr

Posted on July 1, 2019 by eteal

Ghost rides haunt me,

Sweet winds raise me up

As I ride the waves of childhood memories.

Oh You zephyr,

You Holy Spirit.

Take the reins.

Swift

Posted on June 30, 2019 by eteal

Somehow I expected swift to be silent,

Instead it sings like the beating of hooves

or

Hearts.

.

Be not afraid.

Be brave.

Purring pride

Posted on June 29, 2019 by eteal

The grey cat with the white face

Sat in the church garden

Watching the teens with

Pride.
