Autumn Valor
Glory be to God for mundane things --
for Boo hanging from the attic vent;
for yeast slowly stretching gluten strands;
fun fabric for masks; stairway conversations;
the grace of learning a new baby's name;
and music streamed in this unsung season.
All things small, quiet, discordant, unseen;
whatever is sought, crafted (who knows why?)
by hands, speech, instinct, need, delight
He holds it all together in His joy:
Praise Him.
(For FVC, with obvious thanks to Gerard Manley Hopkins and Pied Beauty)
