Just the magnitude of the sky, the rise and building of such dark clouds, the horizon like a swelling wave from a mighty ocean, the downdraft and sideways rain before the hail began, and I marveled as I drove, praying for safety but also so very moved by the majestic beauty of it — creation,Continue reading “Fury”

So Much More
I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance {to the full, till it overflows]. — from John 10:10, Amplified Version Cradled by a petal, surrounded by the tranquil scent of the most pleasing roses, I found you here yesterday and again when I returned today, and I find myselfContinue reading “So Much More”
What Wonders
How is it this long, wasp-like but wingless creature becomes a little, unassuming ladybug? Smaller, she is but a dainty remnant, an emergence of a speckled & friendly dot from this some-what scary looking, long-legged infant we might swat…. We know so little of the natural world, most of us, at least, inside walls, headsContinue reading “What Wonders”
Perfect Parcels
Tiny white petals like folded butterfly wings displayed on a tiny green leaf, perfect parcels, a ready gift, if you just lean into this waiting wilderness. —C.L.

Speaking of Trees
“They grip the ground as though they liked it, and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do….around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far!” — from the journals of John Muir From a man who lived under them, inspected root and limb, Continue reading “Speaking of Trees”
Brilliance
The sky was a giant wave, a crashing sea of blue, and the moon appeared to be rolling atop, a silver surfer riding along the rising curl. This universe astounds me, takes me by surprise, this grandeur of God’s creative mind, and I am humbled by the the unbound beauty, the refracted brilliance of lightContinue reading “Brilliance”
The Garden
My hands reach in deep, kneading soil, down and over, loosening the ground, willing it to accept an offering that waits in plastic, an inferior home for roots that long to grow, stretch into the rich humus that He used to form all life. What a privilege to be a tiller, a keeper of thisContinue reading “The Garden”
Little Steward
We talked this afternoon of worlds/ That herd within the sky;/ Of all the majesty and reach/ Of stellar space, till I/ Was grateful to the ladybug/ That crawled across my dress,/ Just for its foolish speckled back,/ And for its littleness. ~Ethel A. Turner, 1921 She scurried up the side of a leaf, pausedContinue reading “Little Steward”
Evening Walk
Her heart was made of liquid sunsets. —Virginia Woolf Just a jaunt around our neighborhood, no need to rush, no push to get our heart rate up, so we amble around one corner and the next, pass the schoolyard where we stop for one photo, the clouds accentuated by the sun now low in theContinue reading “Evening Walk”
Subtle Shades
Our great desire is that you will keep on loving others as long as life lasts, in order to make certain that what you hope for will come true. — Hebrews 6:11, NLT They waited for someone to notice, so tiny and, from a distance, nondescript, a little sprinkle of white barely noticeable by evenContinue reading “Subtle Shades”
