Watching ~

upon hearing

the snap of a twig

I turned

and

saw this lovely doe

watching me

it isn't often

there isn't a window

separating us

: : :

I had to concur with

Mary Oliver

when she said,

"Sometimes I need 
only to stand

 
wherever I am 
to be blessed."

A Time of Listening ~

Advent

the time to listen

for footsteps

you can't hear footsteps

when you're

running yourself

Bill McKibben

but as for me

I watch in hope for

the Lord

I wait for God

my Savior

my God will hear me

Micah 7:7
