writing and reading
I don’t see the dust . . .
then seeing I remember

and know He does not forget

and understands with Love

For he knoweth our frame;
he remembereth we are dust.

Psalm 103: 14 (KJV)

morning work
in the kitchen

reading a new-used book

blue sky and some clouds

birch trees in May
wind and evergreens

daffodils and primroses
in the yard

sounds of work
in the neighborhood

type a list

sunrise . . .
some water
for the chrysanthemum

time with a book
light reaches my chair
through trees

late November
warmth of sunlight
on my desk chair

all a day can hold
sun and shadows
on the wood window frame
above my desk
in my small study

new light
in my study
waterfall

Yesterday, we completed the series at my site, Poems From Psalms And Nature.

Here are posts from that site with some of my thoughts about this work.

The Psalms – I wrote this post as I reflected upon the series, to let readers know we were reaching the last Psalm.

There are 150 Psalms, so our current series is almost complete – and only a small beginning.

The Psalms are a part of my life. Perhaps you know them well, and perhaps they are new for some readers.

Psalm 150 – I mentioned that “New readers may be interested to read New Series From The Psalms (March 17, 2020).”
