Sunday, 03 June 2007 - Personal open space

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for personal open space.

I am not bound for any public place, but for ground of my own where I have planted vines and orchard trees, and in the heat of the day climbed up into the healing shadow of the woods. Better than any argument is to rise at dawn and pick dew-wet red berries in a cup.
~Wendell Berry

We have a large backyard - not quite the multi-acre mountain estate I would like to own but roomy enough to accommodate my dozen or so gardens and major landscaping projects. Plus, T can run full speed along the south (see photo) and west fences.

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
