Scattered

It's like a bomb went off in my life and I'm still picking up the pieces 

Trying to figure out how they all go together

I have piles here and there

Not everything survived the blast

But that's ok 

Whatever isn't here obviously wasn't necessary

I imagine I will get it all together eventually

Until then I will 

continue to putter about this mess

sifting, sorting

keeping, tossing

all the while humming as I go

It is well, It is well,

with my soul

The Journey

I started to say I stumbled across this wonderful blog but then realized there was no stumbling.

 

As I am learning to walk this new life of pain and waiting I am steadily seeking God. He is so good, so faithful! He has led me to such wisdom and love in so many blogs. I have been especially blessed by this one "Seedlings in Stone"

The author L.L. Barkat proposed a writers challenge, I thought I'd try it so here it is.

I close my eyes and I can still see...

The Homecoming

Tires crunch against tiny rocks

ears like minutemen jump to attention

clinking jangling keys set a tail in motion

with one swift twist levers give way

the knob turns as the door opens

licking, wagging, jumping, barking, yelping

dust and fur float through the air

highlighted by the setting sun streaming through the kitchen window

kicked up by happy paws and work boots

welcome home my friend I've missed you
