He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8
Far fairer than the beauty of the bloom that steals the show...
(The hardy hollyhock steals the show in November 💗)
The sunrise as it fills east-skies with color-feasts unfurled
The solace of the countryside in twilight's afterglow
Far fairer than the beauty of the bloom that steals the show
The sunrise as it fills east-skies with color-feasts unfurled
The solace of the countryside in twilight's afterglow
Or gardens silver-dazzled, each frond frost-rain-dew-drop pearled
Or autumn's glory transcending poetic eloquence
Or fleeting fame and fortune's pedestal, precarious
Far finer, nobler, priceless, precious, is the diligence
Of all whose footsteps etch in daily dust, unbeauteous
Kind second miles and detours that no world-stage will applaud
A legacy of seemingly small and forgotten deeds
Enough to love mercy, act justly, walk humbly with God
Awaiting the transfiguration of love's scattered seeds

I am among the Walking Blessed these days...
blessed by so many continued comforting messages and deeds of kindness!
No wonder Jesus said 'Blessed are those who mourn'!
