From root to crown
the oak tree gives You glory,
in sap and leaf
on branches
where squirrels play
and the bluejay squawks his morning joy.
Light becomes food,
water and sugar into sap
and acorns,
autumn harvest for
crow, squirrel, human,
and a gift to the earth
that may sprout a seedling in the spring.
A pair of doves build a nest here,
make love, make eggs,
chicks hatch,
fledglings test their wings,
and seedlings grow
in the shade of their mother.
Leaf,
star,
woman
looking out her window at dawn –
what do we have in common?
When the body becomes Your mirror,
leaves drink light,
and I make it into a song of praise.
(Title from a poem by Mahadeviyakka)
Lovely, Mary, just lovely. Thank you.

Beautiful, and we are all the women looking out as mirrors.
Thanks Love, Jean
