not alone. Knowing is the best thing.



through the cracked sky, foggy streets and dark corners, I hear you, singing softly. the light, the need, the warmth of the sun and green trees and blue waters. 
I'll walk toward the sound, skipping and then slowing... to not miss a moment. 
We got one road, one beaten path, one journey. no matter the way we chose, it is one path.. winding, bounding, up the tall mountains and down in the deep dark valleys. 

wheater we choose to take the high road, or stay in the dark lows, we choose, we are guided, we are invoked, we are pressed, we are pushed, pulled and chased. where we go, step by step, we choose.

since this is true, and the end is good, the end is good.... oh knowing that makes me want to run RUN to get there. to get to the finish line, be wrapped up in the arms of the ONE who pulls, but doesn't push. who calls but doesn't demand. who loves and doesn't stop. 

So, today, I say, I'll sew up my heart and begin again. One door closes, another opens. I may be walking in the cold, alone, along this road, this journey, filled with dark and mist. I may THINK I am alone... when it gets dark, when it gets messy or hard. I may fall. I may stumble, or break a bone or two. but knowing... KNOWING. knowing is the best thing - makes it all worth it. Knowing, I am covered. I am safe. I am NOT alone. 







Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. - Psalm 23:4

The consumption society has made us feel that happiness lies in having things, and has failed to teach us the happiness of not having things."  - Elise Boulding

river wild.

This photo is the background of my computer at work. It reminds me to focus on not getting caught up in the craziness of the week. That this in-grained desire for something bigger is normal. That we were not made for this world, but while we are here we must not miss the good parts.  River Wild.  There is a peace in the woods, in the dark of the trees. In the rain and under the branches. I hear whispers of wind and cheers of wildlife. I hear Hillsong music and the light rain covering the deep. The streams a-flowin and the rush of the wide-open scapes. OPEN HEAVEN - RIVER WILD.  This world today has been so rearranged by MAN that we sometimes can't recognize it for what is was in the pure state of which it was created.  So I am reminded, reminded to take care. To leave no damaging mark but to kiss the earth gently - To pray, listen and speak less.  “If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the ...

heart of life

one photo from the Portland adventure weekend. Self discovery, letting go, finding creativity again and learning about life. With the best of people. A weekend of wonder - simple, yet just what I needed. Full.
