Driving past fields. Farms. Settlements well worn. From pain staking, sweat earned….difficult years. Trying to clear head…. Find rest from puzzles with sharp edges. And I recollect their beauty. …Any building still standing must have a strong foundation. And emotions surge. As I grip all I have got. Fragments. Pulled apart….And I ask… Why is vision […]
And the weight of weekend gone by grips me…Yet, I open Breath of Life faithfully. Not out of passion or calling….but obedience. I find dry bones in Ezekiel.
