I went for a walk in the woods alone and these words followed me the entire time...

"Unmarked Boxes"
God's joy moves from unmarked box to unmarked box,
from cell to cell. As rainwater down into a flowerbed.
As roses, up from ground.
Now it looks like a plate of rice and fish,
now a cliff covered with vines,
now a horse being saddled.
It hides within these,
till one day it cracks them open.

Beautiful post. I'm envious of the color. Everything here is still mostly gray and brown.
