Letter 4443
The light spreads over the land, from horizon to meadow to bedroom window.
It quickens, it brings joy, it brightens.
❖
What more could I add to this land, Lord? How dare I think I could build upon perfection?
Let me drink in the sunrise.
Consider:
Can I accept and enjoy the beauty around me?
