Opening Love and other Green Vegetables

My childhood home. Wisdom takes a seat with littlest one. Anticipating with wide eyes the stack before her. Natures delight waiting to do more than hang on limbs.  Exploding with color to the taste buds they cry. And the two sit at ancestors table. The one I hid peas under when I was so little….rebellious. Yet, […]

Hiking Home

A chance to seize the day.  We strap on boots.  Take off on, Trail of Life. Not the easy road.Away from city.      Noise.           …Suffocating places that drown the voice of God. Head to wide open…..                Where He speaks through all creation. Even the trees beckon….                 As they reach with limbs of yearning. Calling through […]

Ponderings from the Pond 2

Compelled outside. Early morn. Forsaking beauty for over-sized boots. Loves Eternal.  Still asleep. Wooden dock calling me…. Out of constricting walls.             Into open field.                         Down grassy path…..                                      To waters edge whispering. And there…..I drown in silence.  Devouring His peace, like breakfast to the soul.  Searching for Heaven’s handouts….even more….. And I absorb unfiltered air….unbound by walls […]

Man, who is proven fallible, we cling to…Yet, God who is perfect, we […]

I find dry bones in Ezekiel.        Representing dry carcass of Adam in Genesis…And how…. God “Breathed” life into them. I see “breath”in the Hebrew.  The word being, “Ruach”. It’s meaning?  Spirit.  “Ruach Elohim”….Holy Spirit. […]

Barrenness

I sit under the wide open sky… And wonder…. How far, deep, and wide His love is. How the earth seems to breath underneath me. And how expensive comforters…. And  mattresses… And beds…. And houses…. Somehow seem to suffocate the breath of God around me….in me. And I ache for even more barrenness….  Where nothing matters….but […]
