Quiet Quest of Love

song from a sunday morning walk

waking within us
walking beside us
wafting around us
watching over us
wandering beneath
our hesitant feet

Most Gentle One, Sweet
and Present Always
shy, unseen in Soul
Bold and Seen 
in autumn gold
in winter white
in springtime pink 
and summer green 

and every color in between 

in humility's joy
and greed's deep grief
in smile and tears 
and Merciful Relief~
in transforming fears 
beyond all belief 

Most Gentle Light
Within, Above ~
Make All Things right,
O Quiet Quest of Love. 

Once again I am a day late, and far more than a dollar short! Saturday found me much too busy for a meeting with the muse, but this Sunday morning brought a beautiful accompaniment of Spirit, in spite of...or perhaps because of...all that feels immensely weighty and unsettled in the world and my own tiny life. I was reminded of the implicit trust of a body simply walking and breathing, and the explicit gift of a spirit quieting and brightening; how the simple act of taking a walk can remind us that we are part of something that can be spectacularly scary and wondrously beautiful all at once. 
Deep Peace and Joy of the Quieting and Brightening be Yours, Dear Friends.
