The Grace of Breath
It’s in sunlight streaming around well-loved patio chairs. It’s in rough hard-working hands building tables. It’s in cheerful mockingbird trills and chatter. It’s in good morning kisses. It ripples right through a puppy dog as she drops her favorite green rope at your feet. Shared adventures sing of it and gritty sand and shells do […]

His Workmanship
The handiwork of God snuggled securely in a little seed. It grows. Roots. Shoots. Reaches. Slowly, interceptibly becoming. Stronger. Taller. Ready to produce. And then tiny buds emerge. Linger. Lengthen. Begin to bloom in edged, intricate detail. Tiny flower + tiny flower + tiny flower coming together in one glorious hydrangea display. […]
Play On
Play on. . . Bow hums across the violin. Fingers press piano keys. Guitar pick finds guitar strings. . . Play on. . . Pen pressed on paper. Keyboard taps. Canvas waiting, empty, blank. . . Play on. . . Scrubbing at the stuck on spots. Corralling clutter everywhere. Folding tidy washcloth squares. . . […]
