Morning Thanks

Garrison Keillor once said we'd all be better off if we all started the day by giving thanks for just one thing. I'll try.

Mary Oliver and Queen Anne's Lace



Passing the Unworked Field

Queen Anne's lace
     is hardly
          prized but
all the same it isn't
          idle look
                          how it
          stands straight on its
thin stems how it
          scrubs its white faces
               with the
          rags of the sun how it
                makes all of the
                         loveliness
                                it can.

       --from Swan, by Mary Oliver
