deep in the woods
the humble tree hollow
a temple we pilgrimage to
Sacred
The Day’s Devotional
every pause
for beauty
is a prayer of gratitude

worship as
an acorn eaten
a devotion left

the garden grows
a temple complete
with spires of lavender light

the one hundred year old
stone frog
worships at this alter

worship
in the woods
beauty is the pew
Seen From Above
heaven’s clouds recognize
the tiny speck
as the church’s steeple
We Gather In The Meadow
chairs circled
we worship in
the valley’s benevolence
Oh Preach
the gospel
of birdsong
sermon in the field

weather is
the bell ringer
calling all to worship

the birch in worship
waving her prayer flags
for us

morning fog
the wide world
is a contemplation

elements in worship
limbs raised in prayer
reflection of faith
Everything
the garden holds
life and death with
Buddha at the center
Between Trees
now that I’ve found you
every trail leads
to your wise counsel
Worship
hymns on the wind
stained glass leaves
cathedral of trees
Petal Prayers
pink petaled benediction
blessed the time and tending
of the garden’s enduring grace
Hallowing
outside the church window
the prayer and devotion
of snow
Vespers
long before eventide
leaves chant the prayers of trees
the request and praise of grace and gratitude
Reverence
raised in exalation
green arms
praise the sun
Exaltation
a mass of blooms
a choir of color
a devotion of flowers
Meeting
quaker bonnets
gather in the grass
spring worship
Behold
all the benedictions of spring
are rivaled by
the transformations of decay
bare tree blue sky
reaching
up, up, up
this is worship
Fronds
side by side
two greens
salute the sun
Nondenominational Worship
Each blossom in the spire
is a devotion
to the day.

Nature’s church
is adorned
with flower spires.

Quaker bonnets hold the world
in the light with their prayer
of pale blue and yellow.
Stained Glass
How glorious the view
from the cathedral that is nature.
