Poem
One reason I love to walk in the silence of the morning…with the stars and moon aglow…is how it reminds me, every day, of all the things I do not know. Our world is filled with a diversity of wonders…in all kinds and shapes and sizes… not knowing all there is to know means I’m always in for some surprises. I do not know why there is a moon and stars…I don’t know how they came to be… and every morning I’m surprised they choose to shine their light on me. I do not know the name of every flower…every tree…never had the need… so I am constantly surprised at the beauty of everything created from a seed. I do not know why the sun rises to begin the day and sets when the day is done… I only know I’m constantly surprised by the beauty of each one. I can only name a few birds in all the birds I ever see… so every bird is like a work of art…and is beautiful to me. I do not know one bird’s song from the next in the early morning symphony I hear… so every song from every bird is music to my ears. I know where babies come from but I’m a little fuzzy on the why…so I’m constantly surprised and amazed when a baby goes strolling by. I do not know why I’m stuck on the ground while other creatures soar… I do not know why I walk on two legs while others walk on four. I do not know how all this was created…when…by what…or who… and as I take a walk each morning…I kind of hope I never do. Because as I walk and look and listen as nature puts on her show… I am thankful every morning for all the things I do not know. For my daily reminder that if I walk through life with open and innocent eyes… every step is filled with wonder… every moment…a surprise.
