Small stone, day 8

Day 8 already! 23 days to go.  (Check this site to find out about January's 2012 "River of Stones" of which these small stone posts are a part.)

When the sun crests the tree line,
my hair and shoulders feel it.  Our warming
shadows stretch to the far end of the park
and disturb a bevy of mallards in the un-iced corner
of the pond.  In loud unison they rise like steam,
except for a handsome pair remaining to 
paddle lazily between a few floating feathers.

Praying today:  For the congregation as it gathers to worship and sing in unison.
