Words of Wonder

Wind, rain, snow, moon

Four, four letter words…

a Buddhist teacher says that new monks should first study those four…

Sun, sky, air,

Sit, try, cry

Fire, soil, seed, rest,

walk, song, more, less,

Stone, water, earth, birds, yearn,

pause, still, touch, begin, again,

Desire, wonder, sacred, sorrow, listen, forget,

Inhale, exhale, breath, prayer, remain, write,

A Monday morning in Lent
