It is easier to remember
God’s spirit in all things after
tasting wild blackberries,
smelling sassafras,
and watching dragonflies dart
from flower to flower.

Then,
the detritus of humans
amidst bittersweet and poison ivy
can also be appreciated.

In every parting
is a new beginning
and still the tide runs
and new tasks are planned.

Daily Examen, Friday, July 14, 2017

No matter how fast you run
from one event to the next,
there is never enough time
and always amble opportunities
to show God’s Love.

And at the end of a long week,
there are still chores to be done
but time for poetry,
reading,
and planning with friends.
