Do Stay with Us O’Sweet June!

The Beauty of June.

Now is the time for taking long walks, greeting scampering red breasted robins and watching the sea bobble its waves.

In June, the summer solstice quietly shifts the sunrise and sunset southward. The sun has taken its highest position in the sky and a harvesting “strawberry” moon holds its own place of wonder on earth.  At dusk, whisking fireflies arrive to illumine the darkening blanket of night.

We wonder how it is that this sixth month has emerged so quickly, now surrounding us with its beauty on all sides.

Splendor present for just awhile.

Oh happy June – is there no way that you can stay awhile?

After all, the pitcher of lemonade has just been poured with one honey-bee spotted following the trail of its perfume.

We are just noticing the star lit sky, only now walking barefoot on the fresh grass and listening to those song birds sing their soft melodies.

Stay June – please do stay

Let your ebbing heat and cooling rain showers linger.

Weave more time to hear the  sound of cicadas and talking katydids, and greet butterflies as they flutter by too…

Thank you Lord – for this time so gentle and sweet!

For all of June’s wonder and every day after

And as the sun rises and sets
May we be ever so still 

To really behold this wonder
And gaze up at the stars that twinkle and winkle,
Watch white puffy clouds glide by in the silence of a hush

May we cheer the little lady bug landing so gently on the flower

O’ I AM – give us your grace of divine eyes to truly see your created world
Set ablaze in its majestic wonder

Just as it was on that first created day 
In the beginning, to see it all as it really was…
