What activities do you lose yourself in?
Daily writing prompt
afternoon rain
and reading haiku
quiet reflections
reading a book
I bought used
some time ago
words that bless
today
And photography – grateful for all the photos shared by many artists.
painting a new day
with grace and prayer
watercolor sky
morning work
one step at a time
with gratitude
This is the day which the LORD hath made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118: 24
snowflakes
floating in the air
separate
together
artists
across places
and time
snow in the fields
and resting on branches
winter in Wisconsin
the faith of birds
trusting in seed
under snow
snow on the branch
where birds visit
in spring
I begin again
with Psalm One
a snowflake falls
then another
each a work of art
And he shall be like a tree
planted by the rivers of water,
that bringeth forth his fruit in his season:
his leaf also shall not wither;
and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Psalm 1: 3 (KJV)
“snowflakes” is from Quiet Christmas Poetry.
“the faith of birds” was published first in SMILE, a large print journal that was edited/published by Joyce M. Johnson.
What do you enjoy doing most in your leisure time?
Daily writing prompt
reading poetry
from another time
the newness
of another cycle
of seasons

This year, I am reading more books by Ted Kooser, a great blessing. I hope to write more posts as I read his poems.
