Your word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path. — Psalm 119:105 Ripples, crests, tipping points, jagged edges, garden paths — life is a journey of terrains, some smooth plains and others tangled and rough-hewn. It is new each day the sun drops hope upon us, each wind changeContinue reading “Terrains”

Await the Gentle Moon
Let me just sit — I don’t want to form a response or tell you my thoughts; it is well enough to just be a quieted soul in peace, but you are welcome to join me. Let us sit as the sun rests; there is a ever-changing watercolor horizon on view before us as weContinue reading “Await the Gentle Moon”
The Commute
13.4 miles— there and back again— it is a groove, an echo, a pattern, my route. I rarely vary the way, same turns same times each day, and I pray, listen to a tune or two, contemplate my list of to-dos, but the best relay of my repeated loop happens when my eyes and spiritContinue reading “The Commute”
Affirmation
“I must confess that I think it a most right and excellent thing that you and I should rejoice in the natural creation of God.” — Charles Spurgeon Just be in a moment with no agenda, no must-do list, no conjecturing or rehashing of the day’s events, still, attuned, recognizing life in the beating ofContinue reading “Affirmation”
Faces
The deep dimple in the chin, the curve of a lip, the dark lashes that offset the eyes, the angle of a nose and cheekbones — it is remarkable how a few variations make for so many individual faces, that and an ineffable quality that each soul adds — faces are simply a marvelous workContinue reading “Faces”
Immeasurably
I stepped out for a moment of light and air, a few minutes under sun with God’s good earth under my feet and the far- reaching sky above, a little time to be as so many have stood, a created being joyfully understanding there is a God, and He loves me immeasurably, and that isContinue reading “Immeasurably”
First Love
Sometimes— when the world is on fire, when we melt- down into a desperate stew of raw emotion to the tipping point of ruins and ashes— despair closes over us, but there is hope, full and perfect, constant and beautiful, the Light of the world and Redeemer of all surrendered, and He calls those whoContinue reading “First Love”
Fractals
And He Himself existed and is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. [His is the controlling, cohesive force of the universe.] — Colossians 1:17, Amplified Bible There is this calm that descends with a covering of snow, and if you listen, attend your ears deeper into the quiet cold, you willContinue reading “Fractals”
Thorns
Like a crown of thorns, bare-limbed trees gnarled and twisting through the endless blue, but more than this, a brilliant light, like hope, rising. —C.L.

Elusive Notes
Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: “What! You too? I thought I was the only one. — CS Lewis We all shelf part of our selves, a section or two we reserve for decorum’s sake — our child-wonderer, our freedom-dancer, our moody introvert, our seafarer, our poetic thinker —Continue reading “Elusive Notes”
