Morning Grace

A quiet moment at my local lake

“Birds are a miracle because they prove to us there is a finer, simpler state of being which we may strive to attain.” — Douglas Coupland

Lake like glass

grass against my legs

whispering waters

the bird she stands still

like the way the world did

Have you ever witnessed egrets or herons in your neck of the woods?

    The description of the lake and bird is beautiful. I've seen similar sights in nature, and it always makes me stop and appreciate.
