The Daily Examen – May 27, 2017
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Sat, 05/27/2017 - 19:31Lord,
lead me to sit
more peacefully
next to blooming sea roses
looking out
over the quiet bay
in spite of all the
strife and turmoil.
The Daily Examen – May 26, 2017
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Sat, 05/27/2017 - 12:07Running from meeting to meeting
a message comes through
from some
unexpected source
reminding us
to remember God
and all God’s people.
The Daily Examen – May 25, 2017 Ascension Day
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Thu, 05/25/2017 - 19:24I always imaged
it was partly cloudy
on Ascension Day;
a warm summer day
with lazy cumulus clouds
waiting for their moment
in the history of mankind.
Today was chilly
with lots to get done
but still a group of shut-ins
were transported to church
for a special service
and while the celebration of Pentecost
is still over a week away,
the Spirit was moving.

Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Wed, 05/24/2017 - 20:13The peepers in the pond
sound the same
as they usually do.
When the jet overhead
drowns them out,
I almost forget
to give thanks
for the same old peepers.
The Daily Examen – May 23, 2017
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Tue, 05/23/2017 - 20:49A goldfinch crossing
the town green,
bats at twilight,
a strip of pink highlighting
the edge of the evening sky,
are all balms
for some
of the recent grief.
