Sliver of White

Sometimes you need to move around to get a better view.

I’m not sure why obvious ideas get sidelined and ignored.

This morning I must just be more curious and attentive.

A glance up from the computer was rewarded.

There was an intriguing sliver of white in the foliage.

I had to readjust to enjoy the treat.

Sitting on the floor, ten feet to the right of my desk,

was the perfect place to perch.

I felt like a little kid playing a spy game.

I had to twist close to the ground and focus.

Aided with binoculars, I watched the large White Egret.

I was reminded of the comforting rhythm of a rocking chair.

The tree branch swayed in the sunshine,

under the weight of the preening bird.

Enjoying  a sliver of God’s creation is a great way to start the day.
