Blessings, Abundant Universe! We are slated for the three H’s today – hazy, hot, and humid – which also brings a chance of afternoon thunderstorms. Ah – the patterns in nature, the patterns in our lives. We try to use the patterns to “know” what will happen in the...

Good Morning, Caring Creator! The air is heavy and sounds echo, on this foggy morning. I thought about turning on the air conditioner, but chose instead to open the window, and I’m rewarded with a variety of birdsongs, all brilliant and clear. What is there to say...

A Bright, New Day, Dear Creator! The sun is shining, and the wind is blowing, as hot weather makes its return. So, I guess summer is back! I had the chance yesterday to spend time with my Bean colleagues at an employee outing for our store. Our ODS crew invited them...

Here We Meet Again, Dear Creator! Ah – overcast, gray, and heavy, this morning; yet, even as I began to write this sentence, the gray sky is brightening more and more. I can feel that simple experience – this page I write upon, brightening as it reflects the sky –...

Peace, Divine Universe – It’s a hazy, cloudless sky, and today is expected to reach 90°F. It might be time to find a swimming hole around here. I am falling back in love with all the green of the land outside my window, the verdant shades of lawns and trees, all the...

Thank You for the Invitation, O Wondrous Day! What a different sky this morning. It’s a baby blue sky, painted with long, thin swaths of white billowiness that partly occlude the sun. It’s supposed to get hot the next few days. I again find myself missing the space...

Bonjour, Generous Source! With a light-blue sky, this morning, and not a cloud to be seen, the birds are singing and going about their daily chores. The weather looks promising for the trail hike I’ll be co-leading tonight, to a viewpoint about the Connecticut River,...
