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!
