Sense and sensibility

Look and listen.
His creations surround us
every day in every place.
Touch them, taste them, smell them.

We’re freely given
a morning mist and a fresh start,
a gentle breeze and renewed resolve,
the taste of tart cherries and sweet potatoes,
the smell of pine trees and salty sea air,
the sounds on a city street and
the colors surrounding us.

We’re given change and contrast
to enjoy and appreciate
dawn and dusk,
the laughter of a child
and the bark of a big dog,
the bone penetrating chill
on wintry single digit degree days
and the soothing warmth
of sunny afternoons in June.
