Thanking Two
the sun
our source
of free energy
the amazing explosion
93 million miles away
and a tiny sliver of this huge
being's energy (a million times the size of
Earth)
comes to us
grows the grass that feeds
the cows
that graze down near Fresno
and are milked in the pastures
and then the milk
raw milk
sent to stores all over California
thankful to
sun
and raw milk
and the magic of bacteria
to make
Keffir
from the last batch of keffir
thanks to sun
for drying towels
for drying dishes
for giving Marlie a warm
morning in which
to plant some spinach seeds
thankful
that the night is dark
and sleep comes
and then the day
the sun,
sometimes bright,
sometimes hidden
but always there
keeping life going
on this beautiful, amazing planet
Earth
