Of Gray and Gold

 

At day break gold put on quite a glow 

before gray lowered/glowered to extinguished its show

Soon, should we live to see it through

Dusk will obscure dawn’s virgin view

Soon time will gather gray and gold

As chimes of tick and tock are tolled

To bygone’s immutable mold

In words we say and deeds we do

As we look back then on today

At scenes that none can brush away

Will echo-fray we leave behind

Be patient, true, gentle and kind

With fellow-trave’lers first in mind

Where gold and gray tones interplay

We cannot see what waits to be

Where gates fling wide to set it free

On teeming tides of come-what-may

We sail toward the close of day

In ebbs and flows, now gold, now gray

While making history

After a gray shower passed through

the sun has returned,

 working its golden wonders once more!

Looks like cross-country skiing is running to an end for this season...hopefully!

As much as I enjoy it I would never choose it over an early spring!

Ecccles. 3:1-8

There is a time for everything,

and a season for every activity under the heavens:

2 a time to be born and a time to die,

a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3 a time to kill and a time to heal,

a time to tear down and a time to build,

4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,

a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,

a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

6 a time to search and a time to give up,

a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7 a time to tear and a time to mend,

a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8 a time to love and a time to hate,

a time for war and a time for peace.

Me, with a basket of laundry to hang out

am glad for 'a time for gold'...

Little girl with a new, polka-dot umbrella, 

was wishing for 'a time for more gray plip-plop of raindrops'!

(it kinda looks like she might get her wish😊)

...looks like a true March gray-gold kaleidoscope kind of day today!
