Soft

And sometimes love
Dissolves slowly in the
Heart.

A gentle act that
Requires patience.
A virtue embellished by nature.

See how unvaryingly nature
Progresses, yet it accomplishes
so much

“Another morning and I wake with thirst for the goodness I do not have. I walk out to the pond and all the way God has given us such beautiful lessons. Oh Lord, I was never a quick scholar but sulked and hunched over my books past the hour and the bell; grant me, in your mercy, a little more time. love for the earth and love for you are having such a long conversation in my heart. Who knows what will finally happen or where I will be sent, yet already I have given a great many things away, expecting to be told to pack nothing, except the prayers which, with this thirst, I am slowly learning.
