all words and images by Kate Kennington Steer
Vigils (night)
wind moans Spirit’s call:
‘turn and face blueblack darkness
I want to meet you’
Lauds (dawn)
‘come, enter this day’
pink dawn beckons quietly
Your light arising
Terce (morning)
sounds of life stirring:
‘come, enter this adventure’
cocreating gold
Sext (noon)
unfurling Colour:
‘you are my precious treasure’
bright poppy’s glory
None (mid–afternoon)
keeping eyes open:
‘will you receive My Ikon?’
solace of tea time
Vespers (evening)
light falls shadow blooms:
‘time now to cease your striving
Source longs to feed you’
Compline (night)
trees whisper young owls
Beloved companionship:
‘peace be upon you’
