To discover the divine Seek within the mundane Pay attention To the opening of your soul Recall moments of wonder, joy, delight, awe Raindrops Individually tumble through the sky Hitting the water with a splash And a circle Ripples Moving out Bumping against others Individuality released Joining into the lake More drops fall from heaven As creation continues The fluffy blonde lab arrives Undeterred by the rain He prances into the lake Grinning from ear to ear Creating a bigger circle Disturbing the pattern As he sends out smoother waves In his delicious dip in the welcoming lake The parched earth Absorbs each drop Destined for nearby tree roots, Nurturing ground cover, Filling wells as Rain drums peacefully down On thirsty earth It is Creation It is good A gift from the divine Embodying the divine Pause Listen Witness Feel the gratitude within For when our hearts open in gratitude Truly open We are united with the divine Our wells are filled with love And we can choose To send ripples out to our thirsty world.


Stop and smell the roses!
