Let us bow to its endless bounty.

Spangled

on a Fourth of July

Far beyond the stars

on flags waving 

from white poles 

and draping 

the country’s porches.

The bright glimmer

of the summer sun 

on the noonday sea.

The glistening jewels

of clustered pebbles,

sea glass and stones 

freshly washed and washed 

along the shore.

The gleams

in the eyes

of the floating birds 

and the children playing

so freely, joyfully

on the foot-soft sand.

listen as you read

a thought

Maybe we can find deeper gratitude,

for this gift of Nature.

That makes our life, growth and health possible.

And our world so beautiful.

a QUESTION

What if you brought a deeper appreciation to the simple yet elemental source that we depend on, The Great Illuminator.

"My way of praising the goodness of the Sun

is with a silent sunrise meditation."

a call to experience

Place yourself between dawn and dusk before a vista, a sweep or swathe or smaller patch or pocket of sun-graced Nature. Quietly stand or sit there for a while, seeing with an innocent eye how the light is received; what it brings to life, or beautifies.
