Morning respite…



These mornings…when windows and doors are thrown open

to catch the nighttime breezes


we awaken to the gentle sound of burbling water


coming from a bamboo pot fountain…it has been gently pouring water for years…


through every season.

right outside our living room window in a small courtyard that is mostly ignored


allowed to wander.


There is no pretense…no pretty…just working away. Growing at will.

The ceiling is the untrimmed fuchsia of bougainvillea


in this little unkempt corner of our home.


But on mornings like this…with a cup of coffee…and some birds singing


and the quiet of a family sleeping in…


it is a teensy slice of heaven

Gently trickling.


A glorious Sunday to you.
