Upon Some Wild Shore

            Upon some wild shore I'm walking....slowly. Seeing waves before that terrify me, and yet excite me. I look upon the thing that would change everything and I step forward, a little at a time. 

            First I'm frightened, holding faith in my hands....and yet I'm moving forward. Upon these wild waters of new and uncharted I move, first toward, then into; this is something new. "I am not qualified.", I tell myself. "I am not good enough to do this.", I say....and still I walk on; for I am leaving the shores of safety. They crash upon me, make me lose balance, almost knock me down even, and still I take these steps. "I am not qualified.", I tell myself, yet begin to add, "...but I will be.". "I am not good enough to do this.", I say in my thoughts.....then start to speak, "....and this is where that will change.". 

              I enter the wild horizons of healthy living and creativity, ones where I learn new skills, where new habits are formed, and faith grows in the possible found IN AND THROUGH Jesus. This is where I continue on, remembering ON MY OWN I can't, but IN AND THROUGH Jesus, I can......and so can you. 

         As You teach me Jesus, empower me, and I pray You teach and empower someone else who is growing, healing, even learning new skills and ways of living better and healthier in You. In Your name Jesus I pray these things.

What Isolation Sees (An Older Poem I Wrote)

Once thought alone, this is no longer, this faulty thought process, for eyes look upon me in a pensive mindset. Not the Infinite but the internal are found here though, myself shrouded in dark invisibility, face to face with this mysterious entity, one called isolation. He looks on me in silence, a silence that speaks volumes though no word is uttered. Examination of self is impressed upon me, for such is his influence on my being. I dare to look again at myself, along with isolation, and here do I look upon it all, good and bad alike. What isolation sees he shows me: faults and found strengths, skills I knew not I possessed, failings I was unaware of, ones buried deep within me, ones hidden well inside. This mysterious one isn’t a curse, and in his presence I find myself again, I begin again to right myself, and here I am being made whole once more. What isolation sees isn’t always bad, nor is what he shows, these blessed ways from the Infinite, ways to make us better, better if we a...

Just Write (How To Create When You're Beginning And Feeling Overwhelmed)

               You’re stuck. You feel empty. Overthinking seeks to imprison you; you can’t be shackled though, unless you don’t try. Just write. Don’t worry if it’s perfect, or even how much you will be able to write. Listen as you do, listen as that “inner writer” speaks (for they will) and words will arrive to meet you. First a few words will gather together, one by one, making complete pictures; small actions to a bigger result of greater writing. The little will grow, and so will your confidence. Just write.                  Just a word at a time while remembering to keep writing. Soon paragraphs will be seen. One word will become two and sentences will gather together becoming paragraphs. Just write. You will encounter overwhelming perfection call out loudly on your journey, attempting to stop you….this is where you need to remember you can edit later. Just write. It will be beautiful, the complete...

I Will Stand My Ground

        Light breaks through as clouds of despair are pierced, as hope begins to shine bright again, fierce and unrelenting. Life enters with the wind where change casts it's welcome breezes, and here I breathe in this refreshing shift of resolve.         Small steps are taken toward the dawning of renewal, a faith restored again as a good to be is reassured and seen in parts with each movement to healing; healing to grace for the broken, direction for the lost...for us all.
