Dust-swirls...




 ...as I was contemplating the upright position from my cozy horizontal came the first lines of this poem;-)

Left foot forward then the right;
Thus the day becomes the night
Little sleep when day is done;
Soon night’s deep is full of sun
Little holding close, then oh;
Tender tug of letting go
Little sorrow, joy, peace, strife
Stirs the dust that fosters life
Little swivel on the sod
Is time's little gift from God

 Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. 
What is your life? 
You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

James 4:14

Wishing you a wonder-filled worship-day!

  1. Your photo of teasel folk with their prickly brown faces turned toward the glow of sunset and their fibrous arms raised in praise for the painted sky is like a poem. Did you take it? You have an eye for the natural beauty of the world.
