These past few days have been spectacular! A doxology seems appropriate for today – Here is Wren’s hymn of comfort for today. Also, scroll to the bottom to hear Creation’s doxology…
Walks with Wren and Rick while birding and talking help me focus on the good parts of our current situation! I love Wendell Berry. Knowing and spending time in the same place is very important to him. His poetry demonstrates his understanding of place (his home).
In this poem, he’s inviting us to know about the place where we live. This opportunity is giving some of us the opportunity to be home- in the same place – much more than we might choose. I’m trying to notice new things, and things that change in this little one acre place I call home. I am thankful that I can also expand my understanding of place beyond my 1-acre yard so that I can visit forest preserves as well. Here are some of my favorite sightings over the weekend – many from out my sunroom window!
This is lovely. How wonderful to find such beauty on one’s own acre.
