BEGIN AGAIN HERE

Farewell to June

Why I Wake Early

by Mary Oliver

Hello, sun in my face.

Hello, you who make the morning

and spread it over the fields

and into the faces of the tulips

and the nodding morning glories,

and into the windows of, even, the miserable and crotchety-

best preacher that ever was,

dear star, that just happens

to be where you are in the universe

to keep us from ever-darkness,

to ease us with warm touching, 

to hold us in the great hands of light-

good morning, good morning, good morning.

Watch, now, how I start the day

in happiness, in kindness.

CREATIVITY

Creative play encourages endorphines

 Repetition is skills practice

 Like chanting mantra, the enterprise is calming.

I plan more leaves in the series to be called "Leaf Letters".
They are going to be blank note card sets with envelopes:

Another series will be titled "Fear-Knots" (about untying the knot)--each will contain a short one sentence expression of a fear but I do not yet know what the image will be.
Stay tuned.
