Wonderment
Shar-peis’ wrinkly faces
wild turkeys ungainly flight
barred owls’ maniacal conversations
dairy cows spring dance in new pastures
unsteady foals’ first steps on wobbly legs
walking onions’ advance across the vegetable patch
weightless barn swallows swirling above the meadow
arms-outstretched toddlers twirling in the sun
fledgling bluebirds’ bewildered faces
baby goats’ unquenchable frolic
grey catbirds’ comic chatter
Do you not know
we have a playful God?




Lovely, Ann! Smiling all over my own wrinkly face =D
Ann I returned to seek your Substack having been prompted by your being prayed for by our Community today in the prayer guide. Seemed more than coincidental that the accompanying reflection alongside yours and others names for today references ‘mosses’ and their wonderful properties. We’ve not met in person however , I’ve had the privilege of contributing alongside side you and others to ‘Community introduction’ weekends. Shalom from Aotearoa New Zealand- Stephen
