…would the same tasks which fill our daily lives put on new meanings if we wrought them in the spirit of renewal from within–a spirit of growth and beauty.”
— Helen Keller
The hummingbird delivers
pollen to the generous flower,
that open table draped in silk
offering up delectable nectar,
and this cycle fosters a continual
banquet —creation is filled
with the beauty of such symbiotic
relations. Never underestimate
how much you give or diminish
what you take — balance
is essential in the nourishing
of earth — sow, harvest, plant, reap,
allow for times of rest, respect
these natural patterns that began
when God told us upon leaving Eden,
Cultivate the ground…We
are accountable to steward
what we receive for renewal.
