It was Quite a Day

Before the sunrise
Illuminating Lightning 
Provided prelude

to

The stormy grumble 
Rumbling, rolling, round sounding
Vibrating thunder

and

Morning ‘til evening
Pelting, puddling, darting
All the day long rain

However,

Driving with Ben in the gray and gloom of the day, on our way for coffee and donuts, the windshield wipers barely kept up with the rain.  Out of nowhere Ben says,

How does God do it?
The birds and butterflies, so colorful!
And the ants, so tiny yet living things!
And the rain!
How does God do it?
Amazing

Then there’s this


A small thing bravely
Smiling in spite of cold, rain
The Designer’s gift

And then there’s the Dahlia.

Inconspicuous
Growing in obscurity
Not outdoor-ready

It was quite a day
Lightning, thunder, rain, flowers, Ben 
Amazing! Today’s gift

If one…

If one looks up

If one sets aside the work 

If one pays attention to something other than details 

If one puts down the ‘device’

If one raises one’s eyes to see something else 

If one looks out the window once in awhile 

One might see something 

… unexpected 

… kinda cool

… sorta comical

… graceful in a goofy sort of way

… maybe beautiful 

… maybe not

… but interesting 

… And delightful nonetheless

If one just looks up.

Unexpected Delight… Today’s Gift
