This week's reflection by Joyce Huggett:

​

SIMPLE PLEASURES

I picked blackberries today, Lord
Not plump , juicy ones like I’d pick in England,

but blackberries just the same - 

enough to stew with apples for supper.
I collected mandarin oranges, too - 

windfalls lying beneath trees
laden with fruit that looks so much like

lights adorning the branches.
Oh! And I saw a robin - 

red-breasted,
open beaked,
singing full throttle
in the corner of the garden
it frequented last year.
Such simple pleasures,
Were these the mysteries
you surveyed
on that first Sabbath day
when you stopped and stared and confessed

‘It’s good’?
