blue skies
white wisps of cloud
and endless sunshine
*breathe
the yard is surrounded by brilliant colours
each day more yellow
more orange
and more red
oh Autumn
you have a way of coming quickly once you decide the time is right
and somehow
we are never quite ready
to embrace you with both arms are we?
*breathe
honking of geese
twittering of birds
as they feast at the bird feeders
airplanes passing overhead
(where are people off to these days anyhow?)
the sound of motorcycles on the highway
people enjoying a "sunday drive" on a Tuesday
*breathe
today's temperature
reminiscient of many days not too long ago
and it feels so good on our skin
and the thoughts of having to get our winter clothes out of storage
seems to fade to the background of our minds again
*breathe
with the soft sound of wind chimes
the song of the crickets
the rustle of the leaves
the hammock becomes a good place to be
a place to retreat to
to curl up in
*breathe
there is a gentle breeze
and the hammock swings in a gentle lulling
while a sermon plays on youtube
for these moments
cares and anxieties disappear
and it feels like nothing matters
except for this time
on this Tuesday
*breathe
God .. you are here
in this place, which is made sacred by your Presence
it's you and me LORD
you
&
me
*breathe
have I told you how much I love you?
love,
j
