Five Minute Morning

Filed under: farm — Tags: , — Administrator @ 3:53 am

“To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty, and in the same field, it beholds, every hour, a picture which was never seen before and which shall never be seen again.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

OK, I’ll go one further than Ralph Waldo.

I would wager that every minute, a picture emerges.

Think about it folks.

Every minute…or even less.

Mere seconds.

How fortunate am I…

…that I get to view the sunrise each morning from my glassed Wee House.

No distractions.

A view to the world.

My world.

My “40″.

Only Nature as my entertainment.

My Sunday sunrise.

“This is the day which the LORD has made; Let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
Psalm 118:24

One minute later.

Three minutes have evolved.

Four…

Five minutes…five different views.

Two days later ~ Tuesday.

A work day.

Destination – office.

It’s difficult to walk away from my “40″ and shut out Nature for the day.

Every fiber in my body fights it.

For I know…

Every minute counts.

And shall never be seen again.

Until tomorrow ~ God willing (and providing proof of His grace and beauty ~ minute by minute)
