The Simplicity of a Perfect Day

Early swim.
Backyard swing.
Deuteronomic blessings, verse by verse.

Kitchen shines.
Laundry's done.
Bathroom cupboard purged, open spaces sigh.

Groceries and ironing and tidied drawers.
A nap and a chipmunk and a
chapter read.
Hugs from the littles.  Fresh jam to take home.

And all the way through I am untroubled.
And joyful.

Just simply having a perfect day.

And in that I see the Divine of it.
The Delight of it.
The Presence of the Perfect One.
Simply.

"You will be blessed when you come in, and when you go out."  Deuteronomy 28:2

Just that.
The comings and goings of a day unhurried and domestic.
The blessings of a Father who graces me with this untroubled, joyful, simple day.

Reminds me of that Shaker hymn "'Tis a gift to b e simple"". May there be more days and moments of simplicity in the days & weeks ahead.
