that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psalm 1: 3

Talk about your father or a father figure in your life.
Daily Prompt
looking at envelopes
I think, my father
would save these
and collect the
stamps
rain in dark night
refreshes each leaf
today I think of you
no longer with grief
Psalm 27: 14
Wait on the LORD:
be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen thine heart:
wait, I say, on the LORD.
Psalm 27: 14
how still
how still
the winter landscape
I whisper the Psalms
snowflakes
snowflakes
floating in the air
separate
together
artists
across places
and time
Creative Note: Quiet Christmas Poetry
Christmas Blessings 2022 is a new post at Quiet Christmas Poetry, to let those who may be interested know that our book is still available. I wrote:

There is a Time of Singing Order Form filed under “subscriptions/back issues/books” at the Time of Singing site.

I read the waymaker by Ann Voskamp. Her book is an honest and generous memoir. There is more information at her site, which also includes a blog. I have been reading her books for several years.
