morning draw




the sky walks slowly out into the light of day and pulls words of gratitude from my mouth

i will swim in the racing grace of all the everythings
that will cross the dawn's river
from you to my
self

alone
no more

    The photograph illuminates the fragility and delicacy of this poem, Steven.

    Snow! Looks alien, exotic to my eye after the non-winter in DC. Today it'll be 70 F. Do we live in the same world, Steven?

    the idea of words of gratitude for the light of day struck a chord steven - I said to the farmer this morning as we had a beautiful sunrise - how we take such things forgranted.

    I like the idea of the "words of gratitude" being summoned by the sky- very nice image Steven.

    I love all your pictures of snow and ice but am so glad they are only pictures for me.

    weaver - if each day is understood for the gift that it is which in turn allows for the giving of gifts back into those who enter the day alongside you then a deeper and richer experiencing of this place becomes available . . . .steven

    ellen - this evening i expct to watch fifteen cms of snow falling from the sky . . . . we have had a relatively dry winter but the snow has been very special . . . perhaps moreso for its absence . . . . . steven
