river
“There is something in the scenery of a broad river equivalent to culture and civilization… It is just 
wide enough to interrupt the land and lead my eye and thoughts down its channel to the sea. A river is superior to a lake in its liberating influence. It has motion and indefinite length.”
~Henry Thoreau

Holy Family
“And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.”
Matthew 2:13

Christmas eve
In some places today is Christmas Day. Other places like here in Napa Valley,California, USA, today is Christmas eve.

the Presence
Sun’s reflection on the sea
a chalice
the sun, the host
giver of life
first light, knowledge of God
making sacred all creations
each creature,
each created thing
contains an essence
of God.
when I consider
suns’ reflection on the sea, a flight of birds
merging majesties of their dimensions
~is it love?
separation and encounters
“Within our reach, is joy.”
What’s the color?
Do we have to describe
what we love?
