Waiting

4 Replies

In our Mary Garden this morning, all’s covered with light snow.

Mother and Child share the blanket covering trees and plants and ground.

Somewhere a car horn; someone’s stuck in traffic.

 

But mostly soft silence here as snow fall quietly.

 


Waiting.

    Thank you, Fr. Victor, for “Waiting” and your beautiful photos.

    Bare Trees

    The trees stand gray and leafless
    the ground lies cold and white
    the glory that was autumn sleeps
    ‘til winter turns to spring

    But bare trees let the sky show through
    and empty waits for full
    the heart that braves old winter’s chill
    will know the warmth of spring

    Thank you Fr. Victor and Gloria. You lifted my spirit from Chicago’s nonspiring snow. God willing I hope to visit Mary’s Garden in spring.

    Quiet flakes fall. No two alike. Clean cover for city scapes
    Tree branches bare white. No need to shovel. Rising temps melt snow away. Until tomorrow’s stormy blast when more will fall. Enough to build a snowman for fun play.

    There is a peaceful beauty in those photos. Thank you Fr Victor.

    Any retreats happening at the monastery in the near future?
