Moist Greenness
by Sister Mary Rachel Kuebelbeck
Today, is a foretaste of summer warmth. Just yesterday, wickedly
strong winds and pelting rain stung soil and skin with winter’s lingering gust
of chilling power
So today, I stand outside my door and can’t stop thanking
the sun for its life-giving energy as feathering leaves greet me on every scrub
and tree.
I marvel at the
courage of spring flowers pushing their vibrant colors through the chilly wet
soil on the south side of each building.
What is it that makes me giggle every May when I’m surprised
again by earth’s unfolding display of moist greenness?
- soft sights manifesting incredible strengthening as each day passes
- familiar flowers and fauna remembering again who they are after their brief winter womb time
- birds and critters resuming their notorious antics and munching on fresh luscious tidbits
Their chorus of delight seems to shout, “Free again, free
again, thank God I’m free again!”
I add my grateful
prayer to the voices of these nature-kin.
- May the evolving love of God teach creatures of every land how to learn from our nature-kin ways to receive varied forms of daily moisture.
- May the warmth of Wisdom-Energy help us discover creative ways to free oppressed peoples and oppressed creation from their winter-womb and manifest their true freedom as vibrant bearers of God-ness.
We gratefully welcome your softening moisture and your infinite
loving warmth in our daily lives.
