This earth enjoys your footprints

"When you are in a certain place,
great love or kindness happens;
it imprints itself on the ether of the place."
~ John O'Donohue

This earth enjoys your footprints
Walk along, walk along
On grass, dry leaves, twigs, stone and gravel
This earth enjoys your footprints.

This place enjoys your presence
Look around, look around
A hill, a glade, a field, or wood and stone
This place enjoys your presence

This world enjoys your journey
travel on, travel on
to landmark, mountain vista, river bank, to coming home,
This world enjoys your journey

This world enjoys your journey

cloudy monday

feelings lie around, nondescript devoid after
wonderful days, gifts from the heart
now the quail within, giving up
to routine that cocoons the spirit
preparation for light - and reminder
sometimes within the dark cloud
the essence of life appears, presence
near to us giving hope, peace, joy, love

Then Solomon said, "The Lord has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud"

~1 Kings 8:13 (NIV)
