The Kiss.

The veil touches down in the thin place where 
past kisses present, a delicate sweep of air — sheer mystery. I walk into the fog, formerly familiar, now lit anew, the road reimagined. Where will it take me? Breaking sun, backlit branches, stream through my reckless heart. I consider day and night, their insistence on gathering each dawn. Death and life, not opposing forces, rather 
elbows latched in harmony 
with Spirit. They skip along, capture my curiosity in that profane and sacred are connected, both with a speck of God’s goodness for those willing to mine the mire. Today, ghosts…

Brilliant Gratitude.

Gratitude sparkles brilliant within an ordinary moment, a mere glance away. It’s an inhale of notice beyond myself, an exhale of thanks to the mystery of God. It’s an inhale of wide-eyed awakening, An exhale of silent appreciation. When I consider my restless mind, my envy, sorrow, anger and plain, busy life, giving thanks is the antidote. It takes the focus away from me, myself and I, slows me down to prayerful awareness. When I notice, I see what I already have. I hear the voice of the Prodigal God, hum low, with lavish love, “You are always with me,…

To the Wonder Seekers

Hello, wonder seeker, light keeper, day dreamer! You are here. And, so am I. Funny how we keep meeting. In this place. In that place. Wherever you are, the quest carries on. Surprise! I’m here again! It’s as if I follow you. Or, are you trailing me? Either way, we connect again. I arrive in buttered crumbs on crumpled napkins. I glisten in the forgotten cracks of sidewalks. I honk playful in rubber squeaky toy fashion. Of course, you already know this. You ARE a wonder seeker. You and I are well acquainted. Some days you veer away from me….

Celebration of God!

Summertime is often a time of barbecues, late nights and unwinding. It’s a time of celebration, road trips and decktop conversations! Let us not forget the presence of Christ in the midst of our festivities knowing Christ is in the details with us. Rainbow wildflowers dancing in the wind, Playful dolphins jumping high in the sea, Smiles of strangers passing on the street, See the joy? It’s the celebration of God! Neighborhood waft of simmering grills, Fresh blades of grass covered in dew, Summertime scent of suntan and berries, Smell the delight? It’s the celebration of God! High school bands…

Flaws.

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” – 2 Corinthians 12:9 When it all bears heavy, your fixed flaws, petty imperfections, the error of your ways, wretched rejection, irreverent thoughts, voices from the past, unholy actions, your whimpering, weak human you.
