Jotting from my journal…. Day #49 of daily writing/sharing

Holy Wonder

I stand in the wet grass, head lifted 
to the new-day sky, full cup 
of creamy-sweet coffee in hand, and marvel
at the shapes of the clouds, the light 
the light the light coming through—
a fat bumblebee dips into and out 
of the Oregon Grape, cherry tree 
blossoms beauty all over the place, 
daffodils a congregation of yellow—
jaw-dropping, holy wonder. And then 
a hummingbird hovers inches 
from my face, zips zips above me and 
poops in my hair. My husband 
says it's good luck when a bird 
poops in your hair, which makes
me smile—all of this and luck too, 
my cup spills and spills and spills.
