Outside on a Starry Night

Where do you start on a journey of faith?

     Start outside on a dark, clear night.

Stand on tiptoe and stretch to the sky

     Look up at the bright starry sight.

See worlds in orbit and suns aflame;

     Pause to consider their faraway light.  

Earth Day: Appreciation

The earth is round and grandly complicated,
Way enough to stimulate my eager mind;
I celebrate an immense creation,
And I want to see and learn and find.

The world, the universe, and even beyond

Composed of interacting particles I cannot see,

I’m challenged to seriously observe and analyze

such interesting, amazing activity.
