Once In a While

OFTIMES
Fig trees do not flower
our grapes die on the vine
olive harvests fail,and
frustrations will prevail-
Fine words just will not flow
'til we let the Spirit show,
again,high places to walk,
where,once more, we can grow

A delicate reflection on life, Brian. May your spirit always shine so you know where to walk and grow. Love, Carolyn
