I feel like I should be at work today after one day off I had a lazy day yesterday, dozing and watching the series Babylon 5 on dvd all day long. The most significant thing I did yesterday was get up before dawn. I got dressed then drove over to Lake Tamarack to be there when the sun came up. Serenely beautiful it was. On the drive out I thought I would be the only one up and out at the lake at that time. Nope. there was one more there As I walked the edge of the ice he went fishing. How appropriate is it to be some where for spiritual reasons, to see and talk with a fisherman on the morning of the celebrated birthday of the original fisher of men. He just finished his Masters degree in Sociology. His thesis the spirituality of veterans returning from war.He is a social worker for veterans now.

..

Christmas dawns

upon the lake.

..

Serenity and beauty,

The morning light

Sends to sleep

The quiet night

..

Murmurs of song , and

Dream

Flow through buried sluice at

Thy beds foot

,,

White jewels gently float

To rest upon thy mantle,

Cracked ,

Thy dreams disturbed,

Only by the tap

Of my staff upon

Thy bedding laid,

For

Winter slumber.

,,

Serinity and beauty

At morning light

..
