in dark arms of trees
sky burns her brightest candles
prayers slip through like clouds
i look up to the gathering light
which falls so evenly on
us all.
there is no holding back,
no judgement,
or hesitation.
light simply enters us.
lifts our eyes forever upward
above the fray
of our shared brokenness.
reaches down into our darkest hours,
lights more candles, hangs more glory.
every new day since the beginning of time
repeats her flood of light and hope;
"wake up, wake up
wake up to love."
may everything we do
be an altar of love.

The clouds always seem to find a way to slip through the smallest places! I'm delighted to return again and again to this gathering place!

How wonderful it would be to wake up to LOVE every day, every place. There is a special place in my heart for waking up to love. It's what my daughter said to her fiance when she awoke her last day with us. Thank you for posting this reminder for all of us. Never let a day go by without waking up to love. And Rebecca, your painting on your last post is awesomely beautiful. I love the colors and everything about it. If this is what comes from your heart, your spirit, then....wow!!!

I'm here, better late than never! I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that the haiku I just belatedly posted fits perfectly with this image and your words, Rebecca.
