*breathe ~ hammock thoughts on a Tuesday afternoon



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
