(from Point Reyes-whale watching)

These whales are
Lumbering oaks turning slowly, in Sun’s summer waters;
and then, those joyful dolphin’s chime in always up front from joy! Always inside and outside seasons like prayer itself…for,
Joy always crests and creates a way! Even inside us.
What wonder we are all surrounded by. Enough to know, at least!
And Father plays by Himself at sea, barely needing us to see! Just, Enjoying His Own beauty!
And we worry til death, and eventually lean, on our endless shores towards
The Sea.
