Footprints in the Wind^sm # 894

The cloud advances imperceptibly
But look away a moment
There it is as if it had leaped!
By billows, by thinning,
By drawing moisture from beneath
By embracing, by moving on
Whether embraced or not
This cloud brings fog
Or cleansing rain
Your hands can stop it not
It moves to shade another
This cloud does its work
Cry it might or storm
Then dissipate in the wind
Surely part of its work is beauty
And setting boys and girls dreaming
Maybe you too
Arguing with it concerns it not
It does its work and moves along
Maybe you too

Please pass it on.

Wind—rippling the leaves
Sometimes in our hair
Storming you are known to be
Raining, pelting, thundering, driving us in doors
Yet we need you

:- Doug.

Love’s a-meeting
G*d’s a-meeting

:- Doug.

We are called to meet. G*d is meeting. Us. Each other. The dynamics. We are invited to meet.

:- Doug.

Expanding horizons
Come also from
Seeing or hearing
Unclearly

:- Doug.

G*d seeks us
For us
For need
For reaching
G*d can reach more
Through us
Yet it is for
Joy of Reaching

:- Doug.

Profound genius
Utter stupidity
In each of us
Welcome

:- Doug.
