Come sit a while…

It is a season for sitting and watching. The bustle of summer is history. My work of harvesting and preserving is done…Cycling is winding down with cool and rain more days than not.  And my body needs a break evidently.  This week sciatic pain reduced me to a poky hobble and the sun shone one morning so invitingly…I thought I may as well just sit a while and feel it’s precious warmth on my face…

I would have missed his visit had I not taken time to sit a while and be still….

Above my head her gangly-arms stretch waiting to drop their load for raking and raking and raking…

But for now, I’ll just sit a while and treasure the opportunity to rest.P1160401

Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!
