Poem--"A Suspended Blue Ocean"..

A Suspended Blue Ocean The sky Is a suspended blue ocean. The stars are the fish That swim.

"Song of the Builders"--inspiring!

Song of the Builders On a summer morning I sat down on a hillside to think about God - a worthy pastime. Near me, I saw a single cricket; it was moving the grains of the hillside this way and that way. How great was its energy, how humble its effort. Let us hope it will always be like this, each of...

A new day...

With the morning dew, stand forth from the mists white peaks, green meadows. The sun on the oak groves! The larks climb so far they melt into sky. Who feathered the fields? Who made wings of wild earth? Above the tall ranges, on broad sunlit wings the eagle rides the wind. Above the sharp peak where... Sign in to see full entry.

Interesting poem...

Standing Deer As the house of a person in age sometimes grows cluttered with what is too loved or too heavy to part with, the heart may grow cluttered. And still the house will be emptied, and still the heart. As the thoughts of a person in age sometimes grow sparer, like a great cleanness come into... Sign in to see full entry.

Everything and everyone needs space!

Fire What makes a fire burn is space between the logs, a breathing space. Too much of a good thing, too many logs packed in too tight can douse the flames almost as surely as a pail of water would. So building fires requires attention to the spaces in between, as much as to the wood. When we are... Sign in to see full entry.

FOOTPRINTS...A New Version

From a forward---source unknown Imagine you and the Lord Jesus are walking down the road together. For much of the way, the Lord's footprints go along steadily, consistently, rarely varying the pace. But your footprints are a disorganized stream of zigzags, starts, stops, turnarounds, circles,... Sign in to see full entry.
