Each Day II

 

Each morning opens the day

with an invitation.

Each evening closes the day

with appreciation.

Each day is an opportunity

to say a prayer of gratitude

to God who numbers our days

and calms our restless hearts.

Riding Clouds

Clumps of clouds
cling to to each other.
Mingle and merge
along their soft borders.
Drift en masse 
with atmospheric winds.

In my imagination,
I ride these clouds;
looking with admiration
at the green earth,
this familiar landscape,
and the geography of hope.

Assignment

Assignment:

To elevate the humble.
To amplify the common.

To make the simple, elegant.
To make the ordinary, extraordinary.

This is my job description;
my assigned task from God.
