Scènes de ma course du matin:
Morning fog creeping over low pastures and seeping into the road
Fungal sunrise
Preparing horses for polo season next month
Farmer made hay this week
Dragonfly mating season
Unflappable turkey buzzards
Thank You, God, for the joie de vivre of running, of freedom, of health, of vibrant life. Merci pour my quiet mornings with You.

God whispers, “Wait!
I’m not done with you yet!”
Greet the sun’s rise
And wait for its set.
“The full day is Mine,”
So sayeth the Lord;
And rest in the night,
Not fearful or bored.
For night, like the winter,
Seeks not to destroy,
Darkness in valleys
Spawns splendor and joy…
Just when you think
You can’t take anymore,
God shows us the shutness
THEN opens the door.
Faith is an exercise
Not to achieve,
But trod as a journey,
Daily gift to receive.
Pause to see beauty
Each step of the way,
And God will rain mercy
And grace on your day.
Where today’s poem was spawned…
Thanks, God, for faith, hope and love, the greatest of which is always love.
May we learn to be gracefully patient and guided by Love, each step of the way.
Lord, have Mercy, and thank You for unconditional love and the wisdom in Waiting.

May the Son shine upon Your face…both rising and setting…
Hey, God…Thank You for the setting that we may behold yet another Rising. Thanks for Your promise that those things that disappear and set in the sky, will again appear, rise and shine! That even if the worst case scenario comes true, that we can still count on You to rise again and make full and complete, that which once seemed empty and hopeless.
Thank You, God, for believing first in uS, that we might always believe in You.
Thank You for riches in simplicity.
Lord…Let us all be like this sunrise above, illuminating all that we see, shimmering light on darkness, and dancing reflections of Hope in You and Your eternal light.
Happy Easter, dear Readers!

Boy, did i ever!!
i Realized a LOT today…
*things i knew but didn’t want to admit/face
*things i didn’t know but sort of kind of really did
*things i thought i’d never need to know or do and wound up having to know/do
*things i DON’T want to know but i should anyway
Last week i shot this sunrise and it had me fooled into thinking my life was controlled by One thing; this week i know it’s controlled by God. (That’s Him spiritually barreling down the street, on His way to consume me)…
Wasn’t it God all along?
Thank You, God, for clarity and perspective.

Thank You, God, for some of the best summer memories yet, symbols of dreams come true…and glimpses of Heaven itself.

It is not easy getting our fifteen-year-old up to get himself up on time for school, even though we adhere to bedtimes and other routines.
Sometimes, all the rants about getting up on time, not spending five years in the shower and making sure the school-issued Mac is charged before heading off – are in vain.
So, he missed the bus – and I am inclined to encourage him to miss the bus as often as possible, since the most incredible conversations emerge in those precious moments of shared time, time that is quickly slipping away…time that will all too soon be occupied by a part-time job, a girlfriend, AP classes, college entrance exams and college itself.
And then, life.
THAT is when I commune with the soul of my child.
And an occasional photo op emerges…
God, bless these moments in memory that lend themselves to bright spots in life – those moments which forever change without its participants even knowing, those visions of beauty which, fleeting in real-time, are captured in perpetua in the heart, ever becoming a new part of the soul.
The soul, evolving.
He has not changed, only we do. May we be open to His promptings.
(My inclination at this hour is to go to sleep, but I am afraid I will miss out on moments…the moment my baby crawled into our bed just now with a high fever as my husband broke into song on his guitar, serenading both of us into a graceful lull of wellness and recovery, songs I don’t know and songs I do, like Fleetwood Mac “Never Going Back.” The hour is late – if I sleep, I’ll miss out. And I can never go back…But I am tired.
Oh, the quandary –which do you choose, to slumber in peace or be vigilant?

It seems that…
Youth is a burst of fast energy,
punctuated by brief spurts of rest.
As life progresses,
this gradually reverses
Until our age yields to
Slowing,
punctuated with brief spurts of
Energy.
Perspective is relative.
Just when we think our hearts and souls
can bear
not one more tear…
…the Sun rises again
