What Comes Forth out of the Stillness: The Feast Day 4

A Psalm of Mornings

 

Holy

The hour

Before my husband wakes

My kitchen still clean.

 

Holy

The nameless birds

Whose caws penetrate

the cool of my open window.

 

Holy

The shawl wrapped and padded stillness,

The steaming mint chamomile tea

Fresh without imposing expectations.

 

Holy

The wet hour,

My mind dew-washed with sleep

Ready to lavish the sweet tang of the day.

 

by Summer Gross

Have any poems, thoughts, prayers, joys come forth out of the feast yet?  Please do share!

Come share the stillness with us.  We are practicing 10 minute stillness breaks, fully open to our senses.  It is a feast of gifts straight from the Giver.

 

Anglican priest, spiritual director, homeschool mom of three and still in love with my high school sweetheart. I love listening to your hard and holy stories and setting the table for you to spend time in the Presence of God. My mission? Giving you tools to go from anxious to resting in God.

  1. I totally love this idea…..and will “go forth” with it!
    My name for it has been Interludes. God’s name (at least one of them) seems to be Sabbaths. Whatever!
    The world is standing up tall, waiting to be noticed!
