| February Late Afternoon From Bordeaux by Roger Colson |
I no longer have reason to travel to Bridgewater on Fridays
but the experience, memories and prayer of this post
are as real today as they were some years ago...
On Friday mornings I set out for Bridgewater,
returning on 24 North, late in the afternoon...
On yesterday's homebound drive
I couldn't miss or fail to be grateful, Lord,
for the lengthening of days:sunset now a full hour later
than back on late December's solstice...
I couldn't miss or fail to be grateful, Lord,

Earth's slow, shadowed sun dance reminds me, Lord,
of the sure and steady way you live and stir and move
in my mind, my heart and soul...
I may not notice, I might often miss, all the ways
your faithful presence, light and warmth
bless me from the inside out and all around
- so open me to those moments, Lord,
when your grace reveals the sure and steady way
you accompany my journey
day by day, week by week, year by year,
through all the seasons of my life...
bless me from the inside out and all around
- so open me to those moments, Lord,
when your grace reveals the sure and steady way
you accompany my journey
day by day, week by week, year by year,
through all the seasons of my life...
Amen.
