morning mozart
there must be angels
singing in the trees

“The Lord Will Be Passing By”
“After the wind there was an earthquake-but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake there was a fire – but the Lord was not in the fire. After the fire, there was a tiny whispering sound. ” 1 Kings 19: 11-12
silken beauty
the stillness of morning
a water lily
the soft color captures me
i want to touch the silence
Do Not Worry
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?” Matthew 6:25

this field
blooming flowers everywhere
the color of a soft breeze
my heart gathers strength for the journey
comforted by the scent of purple

The Call to Pray
‘Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.” ‘ Genesis 28:16

waking up
to the scent of rain
through an open window
the pink shape of dawn
ringing matins

God’s Voice Within
“God’s desires for us and our deepest desires are, in the end, not opposed but are one and the same.” Kevin O’Brien, SJ ‘The Ignatian Adventure’

dove song
on the breeze
my desire
a morning scented rose
for you, beloved
****
I hear your song, Spirit.
“Even the Hairs….”
” Even the hairs on your head are counted. so don’t be afraid!” Luke 12:7
****
a honey bee
seeking only nectar
from a spiderwort
how soft the touch of wings
barely caressing her hair

A Dialogue
“Do not let your heart be troubled…in my father’s house there are many dwelling places.” John 14
Hosta Greeting the Sun
She: Rest……….. listen.
Me: Birdsong, I hear birdsong, and new leaves rustling.
She: All of my creation spreads out before you.
Me: My heart might explode with the joy of it!
She: I will make your heart bigger.
Me: Will the joy fit into a heart filled with sadness?
She: Rest… I will carry the sadness for you.

Me:
Thank you,
Light Leading Me,
Source of All My Joy,
Companion of My Soul,
Carrier of All My Sorrow,
My Every Heartbeat,
My Breath,
My Eyes,
Ears,
All.
Psalm 116
“How shall I make a return to the Lord for all the good he has done for me?” Psalm 116

new for spring
whorls of soft green-
a wild mullein
seems a small thing to notice
and yet it is everything

“Everything Has Become New!”
“So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away; see, everything has become new!” 2 Cor. 5
April Willow

I want to wear an Easter heart
and bloom like the willows in the woods
let me put on the Easter cloak of love
let my old heart pass away,
empty it to make room
for the heart of Jesus
to dwell in me
forever
amen
