Things I Need

Things I am in need of, to restore my spirit:

• Solitude.  Lots of it.
• Mornings (plural!) of sunlight, coffee and home.
• Meeting for worship, and an encounter there with God.
• The smell of an old book.
• Baking bread and hanging laundry in the sun.
• The sound of birdsong.
• Rushing water.
• The smell of clean earth, and the living light of the forest.
• The sight of a deer through trees, a hawk in the sky, and an indignant red squirrel, tail thrashing at my impertinence.

(Soon.  Please, Lady, soon.)
