m u s i n g : :

seeing green
seeing green
seeing green
seeing green

it's winter & where there is usually snow & white we are experiencing rain & green.

"It doesn't have to be the blue iris,
it could be weeds in a vacant lot, or a few
small stones; just
pay attention, then patch

a few words together and don't try
to make them elaborate, this isn't
a contest but the doorway

into thanks, and a silence in which
another voice may speak."
~ Prayer by Mary Oliver

i like green.
