MID-SUMMER BOOK OF HOURS

Photo by S.  Auberle

Lauds... 
yoga in first light
when the sun rises
above tall cedars
young birds finding their wings

Sext... 
sun-warmed tomatoes
in olive oil topped with
sea salt and fresh-snipped basil--
the fragrance will astonish you every time

Vespers... 
slow dance of pelicans high
last lullaby of mourning doves
a poem or three and glass of Chianti
or perhaps a very old Scotch…
  
aahhhhh….July

Nice work, nice walk through the day. Save me a little of that Scotch. (*)
