Sunshine skittering through the branches of the apple trees; points of light glittering on the nut tree; sparrows holding their chapter meeting in the barn eaves; daffodils bending in the breeze; the dark pink tilth of the fields smelling sweetly; a cock crowing loudly; pied wagtails dipping and dancing on the lawn; the smell of beeswax from the oratory; guests stirring lazily in the West End of the monastery; Bro Duncan PBGV imploring a morning walk; the warm silence which follows Lauds. For all these gifts of your giving, Lord, we give thanks.







You paint a wonderful picture; being able to stop, sense, hear, see all the changes spring is bringing is a true blessing indeed. Although, personally I wish the birds could have kept quiet a little longer around here this morning!
Amen!
Beautiful; gratitude in abundance.
Just love all you share. God is shining on you all today. Blessings ….and more blessings.
Very nice sister, its been a long winter so having spring wake up is a blessing! Thank you Lord…
Absolutely beautiful. You wrote a poem, actually.
Thank you!
Lovely!
While its beginning to seem like spring here (most of the snow is gone, the river only has a bit of ice in spots along its banks), we can never really say Spring has arrived in this part of the world, until our traditional May snowstorm has passed…
