Do you ever think

About nothing?

Jupiter has launched

Himself high above the peaks…

Has anyone ever told you…?

Guide me firmly, gently, by the hand, Lord…

I’ve been busy planting apple trees…

For my students, past and present

Lord, make me like the hibiscus

That opens daily for the sun…

A prayer on the Ascension of Our Lord

The red ribbed robin rests ready in the rain…

The honeysuckle is blooming

Again

Sweetness has filled the air…

Somedays I feel like a giant snail…

There are flowers in the tree

And the branches hum with bees…

And then the bread was broken

With words long ago spoken…
