Reflections While Hammocking Today

Today.

Summer rays.
The light glinting through my hammock's side, shining on my skin and seeping through my eyelids.
 It's warm, steady, and welcome.
It surrounds me with a steadfast, peaceful calm.

Windy gusts.
Making music as they swirl through the tree leaves, running past my ears.
At times it is so present, powerful, refreshing, and soothing; I get lost in its current.

And then the windy bursts subside. The stillness waits for its return; the eager hush of anticipation gives merit to its value. Waiting.

It is worth the watching.

With recognition the boughs applaud the wind's return.

My mind wanders, and I imagine how You, Your Spirit, and Your Son are like this. Together the sun's rays and the wind's swirls glorify the Day. Each completely independent, yet together as one in complex unity.

I may not ever fully grasp how marvelous You are and how You orchestrate these things,but that is alright. There's growth in the wondering.

Ultimately the summer day, today, glorifies You and sings of Your goodness.
