It's 8:30 ish & I'm sitting outside
     with a spring morning sun
     stirring spring singing birds

and I am thinking this is worship
     this listening

A few hungry birds taunt the cat
     they don't even know it
     she unseen
     and unseeing

A bird's nest 
     in a barren tree
     across the street
     is a promise

Distant motorcycles roar through the natural song

Crimson Nandina berries 
     heavenly bamboo
     sacred bamboo
     dewy

over-wintered 
     peppermint. oregano, and dusty miller stretch to the morning sun song
     fresh lavender and new pansies

a blind one-eyed cat
fresh coffee
a job to do

Who am I to be so rich?

small earth 
freshly sown

hope in heart

tucked in a small space
in an overlooked valley
by a creek we hear
but rarely see

neighbors yet known

"He said, "That you love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and muscle and intelligence—and that you love your neighbor as well as you do yourself."  (Luke 10:27, the Message)

Why reluctant posting 2?  It's unnerving to have bits of my quiet journal displayed – a most intimate conversation.  I fight it.  My most intimate heartbeat cast out to a windy world.  What if no one notices?
