Face east in the morning.
Bow in supplication.
Give thanks for the day.
Set about doing the good work you need to do.
Play.
Rest.
Face east in the morning. . . .

A winter storm has left its mess and gone off to play elsewhere.
There is a beauty, though, in the remnants of play;
it is a reminder of our own carefree days of introspective abandonment,
when we were able to be engulfed in the process of some activity
that claimed our attention for whatever length of time the attraction held.
We came, we played, we conquered boredom
and let our imaginations run amok.
And then we awoke as if from a dream.
