Summer Night Meditation1

On summer nights
crickets sing ballads
to the man in the moon.

On summer nights
the man in the moon
is slowly transported
across the ebony firmament.

Olives ripen
on summer nights
their verdant green skins
are transformed into rich ebony.

Gratitude List for 10 Mashíyyat

Today I am thankful...
          ...that I found my green prayer beads today.
          ...that the wind is blowing because it makes the day much cooler.
          ...for chocolate covered doughnuts to go with my coffee this morning.
          ...that I have 663 points in my Opinion Outpost account.
          ...that I have 3,580,009 GPs in my Gift Points account.
