They that sow in tears
shall reap in joy.
He that goeth forth and weepeth,
bearing precious seed,
shall doubtless come again
with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him.
Psalm 126: 5 – 6 (KJV)
From Psalm 126
Small Study Poems
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

Grateful
This was my post for Thanksgiving this year, and grateful every day. As Ann Voskamp writes: “eucharisteo precedes the miracle.”
“Little nails and a steady hammer can rebuild a life –eucharisteoprecedes the miracle.”

I remembered the quote today and had not looked at this book for awhile. The “Interior photography” is also by Ann Voskamp.
In April 2013 I wrote, The goal is to always find something to praise – however tiny. It’s interesting as I type this, I recall such vivid images of beauty outside the windows during difficult days. I didn’t think of myself as having that visual sense before. Now it is appearing in my poetry, as a natural part of life.
These are photos from my 2016 archives.
