the rhythm of a morning
the sun is just coming up over the horizon
as I get to the end of the causeway in the morning
on my way to work
I can see our rather tiny island over the Atlantic
from the upper floors of the parking garage at the train station.
and when I turn my head toward home
the skies will be ribbons of colour
and the day will have turned from dawn into morning.
On the weekends I am headed out of doors...
walking along the shore or down the path and through the wood
if you stumble across a bit of heart shaped lichen
how can you help but sing?

If I shower in the morning it's a quick one.
goats milk wild rose scented soap fills the air
in warmer weather the window's open
and it smells like sea as well
Coffee or a pot of tea
We use a kettle on the flame of an old stove
the sound of hot water pouring into the French press
the smell as it fills the sunny kitchen
are like the tread of familiar footsteps coming home
Morning chores bring an order to the day
and set the stage for when we come home at evening.
The kitchen floors are swept, the dishes are stacked upon their shelves,
and a load of laundry is freshly folded and put away.
morning grace
t
the steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
"The Lord is my portion," says my soul,
"therefore I will hope in him.."
