I sit on my deck this evening, on my wooden glider that I love. Beautiful and bountiful trees grace my yard as it slopes toward the stream at the base of the mountain. A truly spectacular view!
Callie is beside me, her head rests in my hand while I stroke the sweet spot between her eye and ear. Oh, she does enjoy that.
The rain is falling softly. A tree frog has taken up residence in the reeds below the deck. He sings loudly; I imagine he calls his lady love to come and share the evening.
The fireflies are just coming out, twinkling through the rain in the waning light.
It is a good evening, a peaceful evening. And I am reminded of the words of the prayer I heard at Liturgy this morning:
For a day that in all things will be perfect, holy, peaceful and without sin, let us pray to the Lord.
Amen.

sounds lovely.
Thanks, Deb. It was, indeed, a lovely evening. Sometimes, one really has to just sit back and listen to all that's taking place in nature's world around them. Don't you agree?
