SPRING BEHOLDING
The fullness of joy is to behold God in everything.
Julian of Norwich
Otter washing her paws in the cold pond water.
Bluebird, robin, forgotten songs come home.
Vulture and hawk soaring the slope.
Three thin deer, feet splayed in dry grass.
Squirrels. Rabbits. Stones.
Snowmelt, icy from the hills.
Logging truck grunting far down the road,
its work, its purpose, its heavy load.
Mary F. C. Pratt
