Sailing,
Wind blowing gently
Sun shining with brilliance
reflection on the water.
My heart at rest.
Flowing in the rhythm of the waves,
uncharted water.
Seagulls and blue sky,
companions on the way.
Little girl,
play.
Little girl,
love.
Little girl,
run.
Little girl,
sing.
LIttle girl,
smell.
Little girl,
breathe.
Little girl,
hope.
Little girl,
choose life.
Greetings after being gone all day by a cold nose and wagging tail.
Coffee.
Lightning bugs filling up the yard.
Grandchildren.
Writing.
Girlfriends.
Seeing grown children fly high.
Trees!
Margaritas.
Silence.
Community.
Birds.
Kindness.
Hearing the Divine.
Nature.
A good book.
Superhero movies.
Creating a gift for someone.
My bed.
Laughing until I can’t breathe.
Comforting others.
Acts of service.
Mexican food.
Playing.
Being Present.
The ocean.
Family.
A moment
to choose life, the blessing
not the curse.
Kindness and breath,
Beautiful, clean, pure
and promises.
Love yourself and be.
Flowing,
river of peace and light.
One day at a time.
Round, safe, enclosed
Invitation.
Enter at your own risk,
Sacred community and wild unknown,
Warmth, laughter, anxiety, powerlessness,
Exit.
Precarious and powerless,
Swallow fear and trust
Simplicity of a step,
Finding the boundary,
One day at a time.
Your presence like a north star,
A familiar song,
Greetings that awaken the ear,
Your visits so brief
Yet a reminder,
Of His spirit’s eye and voice.
Psalm 37:34b(NLT)-…”travel steadily along His path.”
What does “steadily” look like?
Firmly placed or fixed
Stable in position or equilibrium
Direct and unfaltering
Sure
Not easily excited or upset
Unwavering, as in purpose
Steadfast
Reliable, dependable
Temperate, sober
Eyes on the Shepherd
Protected
Gaze at Him
Wait
Expectant
Be
Be still
Rest
Walk, one foot in front of the other
Dependent
Follow
Listen
Hear
See
Surrender to His path…
Standing and reaching,
Immovable and chosen for this space,
Life unfolds and witnessed
Received by these wise arms.
Songs telling of Love are sung
When light appears
Joy of a new day,
Opportunities
Freedom felt in flight.
Brown and dead
Giver of life
Air for creation
Birthing green and color
Season of growth
Maker of all
Providing a new season
Different than the past,
Flowing law of nature
Change,
Healing.
Psalm 1:3-“And he will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of living water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither…”
I am a tree
I am firmly planted by streams of living water
I stand tall
My roots are hidden, however they go deep
I am strong
I am supported
I am fed
I am able to withstand storms
I am a tree
I am firmly planted by streams of living water
I am refreshed after a drought
My leaves are supple, green.
Day after day, month after month, year after year I grow.
I am pruned, deadness falls
I am wise
I stand tall
I give gifts to the creatures of the earth
Fruit to those who are hungry
A home to birds and others who need shelter
Shade to the earth and to people who need peace and calm
I am a tree
I am firmly planted by streams of living water
I stand tall.
The Unmaking
