a wet, green, flowing day
that has only just begun.
Let me not waste it
with busywork and worry.
Both bear unpalatable fruits.
Instead, help me to see
what there is to see;
to listen for the sound
of Your voice in stillness
and with a calm mind.
The garden, at this moment
and in this light,
should be proof enough that
You are speaking to me,
and I reply with due
humility and reverence,
thank you for this day.
