The Advent of Wonder

Puddles bubbling drops on their surface
 Wet earth saturated with potential
 Mocking birds seeking shelter under branches
 Rain purring rhythmically on tin
 Warm feline love pouring generously
 Grief hiding hope
 Simple presence awakening it
 Life, death, re-birth
 Here, there, everywhere
 What does rain look like from space?
 Can the stars see planets weeping,
 seeds perceive the action of sprouting,
 or petals feel themselves blooming?
 To be a participant in the body of God,
 to be a contributor in the cell that is the earth,
 finding meaning in just this,
 grateful for my part in the becoming,
 zooming out and further still
 to behold the solar systems and galaxies,
 the sparkling universes upon universes,
 knowing that Love is the compelling force
 in this eternal, fractal birthing
 is the holy advent of wonder.

Dear friend,

 May your mind be peaceful and calm,
 may your body be relaxed and comfortable,
 and may your heart be filled with love.

 Thank you for reading.

 Blessings and gratitude,
