For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see His invisible qualities—His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. — Romans 1:20 (NLT) Unburdening my bones, letting go the unnecessaries we hold as if life wouldContinue reading “Letting Go”

The Bur Oak Tree
I enjoy the serene offerings of cornflower blue lantana, the pleasing scent of yellow shrub roses, the moonlight glow of the blue plumbago that all grow near or under the canopy of this strong bur oak, a shield and protector in this tiny garden I roam. This day, this hard day when life is setContinue reading “The Bur Oak Tree”
Elegant Bloom
A friend sent me these photos of an elegant bloom hanging in air, a little speck of bedecked petals hovering above the blossoming garden like a hummingbird seeking her fair portion of pollen. There is such rare beauty we walk past, over, through each day, but we too often fail to pause and take aContinue reading “Elegant Bloom”
Enchanted
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. — Psalm 139:14, NKJV It looked like green rain, a driving pelt against a lonely but steadfast flower determined to hold its place. The next frame held unicorn tracks through a thick forest,Continue reading “Enchanted”
Expressions of Time
“Forever — is composed of Nows —” —Emily Dickinson Time was created by God Who lives outside of our linear existence — take a moment and imagine eternity: no beginning, no end, no minutes or hours, no way of clocking, no pace of before or after — just existence unframed. We can’t comprehendContinue reading “Expressions of Time”
Restoration
These little faces, open to light, rooted in the humus I came from. These blooms that wait, unfurl just as morning sun breaks the horizon, just as the dew gentles the dust and the stems imbibe, slake the thirst from the long linger of night, just as I rise, call out, surrender my needs beforeContinue reading “Restoration”
The Lilies Blush
….Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow….—Mathew 6:28, NLT The lilies reveal a soulful blush, adorned by these subtle hues infusing the silky blooms, an imbibing of burgundy rising as the petals yield to a harmony of color, tinges of living green, flecks of darkened pink, a watercolor of perfection flowering.Continue reading “The Lilies Blush”
Finding Poetry
I find it in the spilling autumn leaves, the harvesting of apples, the ladybug clinging to clover, the lavender dawning on a new horizon, the fire of one lone star sparking through a cloudy dusk — the moment my heart knew beauty was created by God, at that instance, I knew poetry. —C.L. Fisher, October 2020 Unless otherwise indicated, allContinue reading “Finding Poetry”
Keepers
The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him. —Psalm 24:1, NLT We miss so many details from our standing perch and our fast nod-and-walk-by approach to life. To really see one must get down into the living, spend time under trees, on the ground amidContinue reading “Keepers”
Afternoon Retreat
When I have sat too long looking at data on a white screen, I need a reprieve, so I push up from my little work nook and head for the my little oasis of greenery. Some would walk by and never notice; even some who see it everyday pay it little attention, but it isContinue reading “Afternoon Retreat”
