O God,
thou art my God;
early
will I seek
thee
Psalm 63: 1a (KJV)

I love to reread books . . .
I love to reread books I first read years ago.
New thoughts about what the writers were–are–saying occur to me, perhaps because I’m the same age, or older now, than they were when they wrote their poetry and prose.
At the same time, I don’t believe I completely missed what they were saying.
Rather their words helped create the strength to “see me through” when my turn to experience some of the same events, in my own way, would arrive.
What a beautiful mystery. Language. “In the beginning was the Word…” John 1: 1

early morning
sunflowers wait
for the sun
early morning
fragrance of carnations
in the sunroom
the word
I seem to say
most often
these days —
grateful

Psalm 100 The Lord Is Good
…the Lord is good;
his mercy is everlasting;
and his truth endureth
to all generations.

warmth and textures
warmth and textures
of colorful handmade
afghans and blankets
from Bethesda *
I wonder about the people
who made them
stitch-by-stitch . . .
and why they let them go
perhaps a move from
one home to another
and/or a ministry of love
like prayer shawls
a passing to another Place
perhaps . . .
knowing their art
will warm another
and needing no credit
imagine buying such a gift
for a few dollars
and on sale too
