Just over the horizon, thin grey clouds sit but rising are faint blue hints of a new sky being born ~—the blue widens.

Two words have my attention this morning, and I think they are close cousins: wander and wonder!

I am a wanderer ~ taking time to pay attention, intentionally, STROLL through these woods, and gaze in wonder at what I find ~ by taking slow determined steps along my path, all the while surrounded by the gloriously beautiful Ozark hills.

My morning write ~

breathe in

morning’s fresh warm air

take in ~ all its “symphony” notes

and know nature plays

and holds in a single cup

many songs just for you

to take with us along our day ~

hear the sunshine!
