Day 8 already! 23 days to go. (Check this site to find out about January’s 2012 “River of Stones” of which these small stone posts are a part.)
When the sun crests the tree line,
my hair and shoulders feel it. Our warming
shadows stretch to the far end of the park
and disturb a bevy of mallards in the un-iced corner
of the pond. In loud unison they rise like steam,
except for a handsome pair remaining to
paddle lazily between a few floating feathers.
Praying today: For the congregation as it gathers to worship and sing in unison.
