Lifting my eyes up today and wondering if there is more going on than we're able to discern with our limited view.

Capturing a small beautiful realization 

Sometimes it's good to dial into the natural world and dial away from the constructed one to gain hope and perspective.  

I wrote this in the fall of 2013.  In June of that year our community was devastated by flood waters and we were all deeply impacted by that traumatic event. I'm currently going back and editing old work and It seemed appropriate to revisit the thoughts I had then, today.  The peace and grace of Jesus to you on your way.  

Sometimes I use the word of the day from Merriam Webster's online dictionary to guide my writing.  

Everyday isn't the same. Some are marked by sorrow, and some, hold hope... 

I often go to the scriptures for personal help and for writing inspiration.  These days I'm benefiting from the rich language in the passion translation. If your heart (like mine) has been shattered by.....(you fill in the blank)....this might be for you. 

This is for anyone who is missing someone they love.  

Please do insert the name of your own precious one at the end.  

Peace and grace to you on your way.

When I'm out in the garden, I'm often struck by how dead things seem in the Spring, yet they're not. They're really not.
