I'm taking my time,
entering the present,
allowing the nature
of my surroundings
to gather gently,
drift in slowly,
like the soft glow
of restful luminosity.
I inhale deeply
the favored scent
of Ponderosa Pine;
the bark and needles
warmed by afternoon sun.
Quieting myself,
the chorus of birdsong
becomes more noticeable;
amplifying the joy
inside my soul.
Like a silvery veil of rain
drifting over distant foothills,
and nourishing the pines,
I bathe in the shower of words
offered by the Holy Spirit.
I am moved by sight, scent, and sound,
and a sense of his presence within.
