beside the lake or on the grass.
Spread out your worries and your arms
let go of tight and just relax.
The jewel weed rests beneath the dock
where water strokes the rocky shore.
Stones let the waves their soothing work
perform, and worry never more.
The sun, the shade, will welcome you,
your only duty: to enjoy.
And soak in gratitude for life,
more person than you were before.
Hello Hermina - thank you for the ongoing flow of poetry and prayer, affirmation and question, contemplation and aspiration. The last line gathers together most of what we hope to learn and be in the light of experience, the sun and the shade. In this month especially, you and your family are held in prayer, in hearts that join our love with the Love that moves the sun, and other stars. Blessings from Scotland
