All of God is so close!

Was doing my morning ritual, reading a few "daily" type books

Comics, the really important read come next,

 

when I ran across a line from Hafiz I liked... nothing like reading Hafiz to get you in the mood for preaching about Moses... "All of God , which is everything, is really so close, and caresses us now and then if our senses are alert."

 

God is in the small thing! As well as in friendship, intimacy, and deeper things.
 

This morning all the kids are home (the three mares are back from summer pasture)

and so I had to wander out early to feed them and Tres, our newly minted gelding,

and set the water in the pastures.

 

And God was really so close.

In the covey of quail that rushed from the brush pile

from the first golden kisses of the sun

 

In the eagerness of the "kids" for morsels

of wild hay and alfalfa

 

In the crispness of the air

and antics of Tess the cat 

as she leapt and twisted

mighty hunter in pursuit of yet another grasshopper

 

In the quiet of my kitchen

as I, tasks completed

return to the warm of coffee

and the joy of greeting special friends (thank you social media)

and this day

which the Lord has made!

 

Blessings!
