as I watched the sunrise this morning and watched the sliver of moon disappear, I pondered and listened as I prayed:  this is where I landed.

Embarking on another new year

Wondrous moments

mark the path when

open    eyes

glimpse

the fragility of life and

hearts hear

the rhythm of Hope

gracefully beating

to movement of Peace

Dancing feet

know the sureness of joy

when the ground slips out from under

visiting angels help

navigate the

inscape

and surrounding landscape

they re-member

the very human tale

where love is

found as God’s Kingdom

is ushered in

so

tread lightly

and let gratitude illumine the way.

 

The Advent journey

 

our ride on the path may not be on a donkey

our map may not be charted by stars

But we share the closeness of uncertainty and fears that the darkness

can strangle our hope with knotted twine of anxiety and depression.

Our inner compass fails, when the worries this juncture of time consume

setting out

lifting our hearts to the Wind, we listen for the Spirit.

stuffing our backpacks with words of wisdom

lessons from the elders

cups filled with kindness

blankets of Love

and more Mercy then we can carry alone

step on the path of faith

Already created
