keeping Sabbath
t
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people which are called by name,
shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face
and turn from their wicked ways,
then will I hear from heaven
and will forgive their sin
and will heal their land.
Toward the end of summer
on our rather tiny sort-of an island.
The evenings find us adding an extra blanket
and the mornings are chill enough for a sweater now,
as we sip our tea.
This morning it is rainy and grey,
the wind is blowing the bushes along the trail about
and the dune grasses are bending in the breeze.
The beach roses have turned from white and pink petals to orange hips
the bayberry and bittersweet are beginning to break forth.
Next week will be hot again but the school buses will be running already
and the heat will be but a whisper of a summer past.

Deep peace of the running wave to you.
Deep peace of the flowing air to you.
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you.
Deep peace of the shining stars to you.
Deep peace of the gentle night to you.
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
