The Cup Of Life

Behold the rust-winged hawk

  That sails on-high,

Over wind-swept grasslands

  That sway knee-high,

Below sun-kissed clouds

  In eternal blue sky,

Where intrepid lark song

  Rouses mind’s eye

And imbues heart with peace—

  Drink from the cup of life,

    Rejoice, the Divine is nigh.

When woes and worries reign, I ease heart and mind with reverie about the primal tablelands of the Llano Estacado. I allow fond sips of memories about the beauty and serenity of the arid, wind-swept plain to replenish my cup of life. My cup overflows. I drink deeply and find contentment in the richness of the journey—the abundance of grace that helps me navigate trials and tribulations, as well as savor the overwhelming goodness that permeates my life.
