Tree in Yellow © 2014 Bo Mackison
Praise the day, first light.
Praise the bird chatter. Cacophony.
Praise that word, a wild word, a burst of joy.
Praise the velvet acacias in yellow bloom,
its yellow fuzz paints the pavement.
Bees and stardust.
The tree alive with buzz and bee swarm.
The desert a sanctuary; the birds its choir.
The tree a storyteller; the bees her audience.
Sing praise. Sing praise.
~~~~~~~
It is good to begin the day with a praise song.
About Bo MackisonI'm a photographer, book-artist, traveler, naturalist, and creator of the Contemplative Creatives Journey, An Online Workshop and Community and Desert Wisdom Cards and Workshops. Though often not well known, I find the desert a welcoming place - a healing space. Its mysteries and gifts transformed me several years ago. Since that first encounter, I return again and again to fill my well in what most people think of as a desolate region. I'd love to share my desert discoveries and wisdom with you. Please subscribe to receive my five part mini email course The Gifts of the Desert. It's my gift to you.
