                             you
                             thank
                             you

  1. This summer solstice finds us in drought. Under rain I would be as emphatic in my thanks. As it is, I appreciate the feeling your poem stirs.

  2. I think it was Anne Lamott who said that her two most-said prayers are "Help me, help me, help me" and "Thank you, thank you, thank you." I say them a lot too. These days I mostly say the thank you prayer.

    1. Yes, and a sense of purifying to it ... it is this, most of all, for which I'm grateful. I love being in the rain, walking, or piling brush ... one of my favorite things to do ... :)

      Thank you so much.
