FOTOS: Beauty Is Afoot In The Land

Whether the sun eking through clouds


or setting Heaven aflame,


whether the elusive swallow constructing his clever nest


or the humble sparrow whose flight is now with the angels,

beauty is afoot in the land.

It may not always be your kind of beauty


but it's always beautiful to someone.


The garden awakes each morning to trumpets


that startle wraiths out of their hiding


fairies pick themselves fresh party hats and dance


for the Queen of June.


Whether trembled by the wind


or fulfilling our deepest urges


when we dance in our garden with fairies


we earn our angel's wings;


when we learn to live together


in the places Nature provides


life seduces us...
