I borrowed it. Ron. Its old, mediaeval, There are some lovely modern exponents. I guess it builds in many forms, including yours. Here is Kristin in North America recently. https://www.hearthstonefables.com/t/book-of-hours
Thank you for the link, Philip; yes, I enjoy her posts as well. I had read a mystery book from T. Davis Bunn, The Book of Hours, which was pretty fascinating. This link between hours and prayers.
For me the seasonal liturgy, and 'customs' (Kristin again) begins to chime more with the old ways, the ties with the moon and the solar year, the accumulation and dwindling of light and warmth, the nature and the natures we share.
"...the colors / of grace." "The wind whispered song,a leaf lullaby."
Such tenderness in this poem, Ron. These two lines are so lovely.
I'm always glad to see you back in my mailbox.
Me, too! We don't see him often enough. I agree with the sassy wench, Sharon!
just beautiful.
Thanks so much Jessamyn.
Ron,
I love this all-season journey poem. So beautiful, tender, and gentle. Thank you for this.
I’m so glad you enjoyed, Beth.
A song, an air for remembering, re-opens the book of hours. Strong and delicate, Ron!
Mmmh,; love that phrase, ‘book of hours’! Yep, open that book. Appreciate your read and comments, Philip.
