Dear God/ess, In the early morning, as night receives the first golden rays of the sun, night sounds fade to morning sounds, and the birds begin to communicate and sing loudly. We have a Cardinal who especially wants to be heard. And we hear and bless her!

Crickets still serenade the day light but are joined by the cicada, another beautiful sound, acting as a lullaby to the inner soul.

Osprey have joins the chorus, and today is the first day I heard them. They arrive this time every year.

For the last several weeks, I take a daily swim in the river that flows by our home. The Conestoga River. These swims are an exercise in blending with cloud, sun, heron, and green leaf.

Swimming against the current is cool and refreshing as well as a fantastic workout. Then, drifting back to Ulysses The Dog who waits patiently, is an exercise in surrender, allowing the cycles of life teach lessons of loosening control we think we need to have.

Next week I will be attending an Internet call called "How to be Lazy and Successful." This is what a hazy,
lazy summer day reminds me of: taking naps, staying up later because of the nap, learning to rest, learning to listen and trust the signals sent by the physical body.

Here are a few more: resting upon a hammock in the middle of the day; eating homemade ice-cream; letting Ulysses have s few licks, too; eating fresh fruit directly from the Vine; eating fresh corn on the cob; eating
fresh tomatoes as soon as they ripen.

Summer time is when the living is easy. Let us remember ease and play throughout the rest of the year, too!

Om Peace Amen
