Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world

Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven
Like the first dewfall on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God's recreation of the new day
Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

For several years, a pair of great horned owls lived in the park near my house. Every year, they were successful in raising several offspring. They had gotten used to the weird guy with the camera and so I got to watch them teaching their owlets to hunt.

Then, a few years ago, there was the body of a great horned owl down by the lake. And that was the end for my owls. They mate for life, and I don't know where the other went. One of the youngsters came back briefly, I heard it hooting softly for a few nights. And then it too went away. I miss them. Some people think owl calls are spooky, but I liked falling asleep to their voices.

THE CYCLE

Dawn’s sky is darker.
The Hunter far above while
walking to the pond.

In bed, listening,
The owl tree fell last year.
an empty silence.

Dark soil disturbed
Familiar smells uprising
His world is good.

Sun loiters westward
Under the park pavilion
Happy music flows

This hymn was very popular 50 years ago...

Well....Thank God, my prayers have been answered, after almost 1 year on the list I sold my property and house at the lake, I pray the buyers are as much blessed as we were enjoying the water, fresh air, etc. They were happy to pay the asking price, so no hassle .....yesterday I decided to spend some of that money on a new Subaru, my third one. It's parked at the new house which I already purchased about one year ago. Live goes on and God is in control. Thank you for your prayers, it's been a difficult year but I keep going and look towards the future. Thank you for your support!!! Nancy and Helen, you are special. Prayers are the key to a Christian Life.P9270001.JPG

I love hearing the owls call in the park across the road from my house, and like you I don't find their calls spooky either.
