Forty Plus Miles

             They hover and land, back and forth from one to the other. They move miraculously as they live, these hummingbirds that captivate!  From flower to flower they go. They speak in astounding squeaks and sounds that make up their speech, and I wonder what they say.                They hover and land, back and forth from one to the other. They move miraculously as they live, these varieties of people! From place to place and task to task they go. They converse and speak amongst one another and I wonder their stories. "Hovering" here and there through life that is going, always going. Lifting through gravity as they rise and continue forward with each step and I see life going again.                 "Do they enjoy it;" I wonder, "the living of each God-given day?" . Do I? Yes, yes I do; when I look past the busy. When I look beyond "getting things done". He...

        I walked through valleys long and low, the sun did shine but I'd not know; not knowing where I would go. I walked through caverns of my soul, not having any particular goal. I walked through places dark and deep, through heavy though they didn't keep; didn't capture who I am, my worth there and all I was.           Where I would go I didn't know, still I walked through valleys low. There I kept to hard ways, 'till I found that I'd give praise, grateful where my soul did raise, as Jesus led me through the maze, of dark and heavy trying days.  Sidenote: If any of the writing on this blog has made a good impact on your life in someway (EVEN if it was something you may have enjoyed reading for a particular reason), please feel free to share this blog with someone else who could be blessed also.

        Eight three, and I laugh, laugh at hungry words full of hungry ideas. A date in time. A metaphor dining on three of something eaten; and I laugh at the metaphor once more.          Eight three, "What was eaten on that particular day?", I wanna say, question in my silly literary wanderings, where a busy soul wants to constructively play; so I do. Writing strange words, laughing at the funny puns that dance with metaphors, and I with them. The inner child plays for a moment. The adult watches in amusement. Both take some time together within a tired soul. Creation and creativity happen, expression that refreshes my soul, makes me whole, and it is good.

          Chapters and sentences calling to me. Years and moments that speak as one story. Looking at how things have changed, how things change, both long term and presently.             Sentences and paragraphs that speak their narratives, tell of lives encountered, of those around and of my own; here I'm listening.             Should I be grateful for the good even when circumstances say otherwise? Consider what truths remain to be taken in and allowed to transform a worn soul as mine; or should I simply continue on without reflecting? This feels suffocating to neglect reflection, reject the whole of a perspective while instead just taking it all at face value and not growing. I will not.              Chapters and sentences speaking to me through those memories of moments; and I'm listening. Sentences and paragraphs that shorten their span of time enough f...

          New songs, old truths, dependable ones; trusting a dependable God. New day, greater fire; still I rise because of Jesus. New insights, fresh beginning; I.will.start.again.
