Winter
Bear
claws
Digging
into the earth
Scrunching
autumn leaves;
Acorns
Sinking
into rain-softened ground;
Traveling
flocks
Circling
in the crisp morning air
Squirrels
Chipmunks
Raccoons
Preparing
for a long winter season.
And
I
With
my cocoa
Huddle
under my next quilt
It was so
cold this morning. A co-worker of my husband’s came down to New Mexico to escape
a storm brewing in Colorado. Surprise!! I guess he brought the snow with him.
The world is spinning, sometimes out of control. The seasons seem to fly
through time as if they were on fast forward. Remember how slow life was when
we were five. “just a few more minutes! “mo’um!” Now what I thought was a few
months ago was a year or two. My curious three-year-old is in her thirties. And
I am way past doing backwards somersaults. Winter is coming, the moisture
ladened clouds hover over the tips of the mountain range. The cranes, calling
to each other in the morning, are back. Pumpkin is in everything, Black Friday came before Halloween! and its time
to plan Thanksgiving Day dinners. I feel
like I’m being rushed. I feel like I’m always on the wrong side be it politics
or society. And I am getting old! Am I doing everything my god wants me to?
Before your season gets too stressed. Sit in front of your
fireplace, relax a minute and remember….
John 14:27
27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto
you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
May all of your seasons give you joy!
