This day matters

rays of gold

streak through

graceful sentinels

full firs standing tall

soaring

ponderosa

bark shining pink

like the skin of a newly bathed child

grass so green

so lush

I have pretensions

of becoming a vegetarian

mother cow waddles slowly

down the fence line

while a baby white nosed

leaps and whirls

joyful

it is a sleepy time

as creation slowly shakes itself awake

a quiet time

and yet this is not just another day

underneath the compressed energy

of this morning

something hums

something stirs

there is energy here

something big going on

just below the surface

something more

ruach

Spirit

Life

Love

Something more

the creative energy of the sacred

saying

this day matters
