| Hello Beloveds,
Here’s a serving of soul food from Mary Oliver.
Enjoy ….
Song of the Builders
Mary Oliver
On a summer morning
I sat down
on a hillside
to think about God –
a worthy pastime.
Near me, I saw
a single cricket;
it was moving the grains of the hillside
this way and that way.
How great was its energy,
how humble its effort.
Let us hope
it will always be like this,
each of us going on
in our inexplicable ways
building the universe.

As I reflect on this Mary Oliver poem I’m reflecting on you. I’m reflecting on me .
Her poem speaks to me like this …
You are unique. You are precious.
You have treasure to share that only you can bring to this party of life. It’s not even for you to judge how grand, impactful or valuable it is.
Let us hope
it will always be like this,
each of us going on
in our inexplicable ways
building the universe.
With my feet in the sand, loving you,
Sharon
