I started to take piano lessons somewhere around the time of Covid 19. Weekly I would go, when I could actually attend a lesson, to a ladies house to learn. Lessons were in the basement with large windows and a well lit view to the outside. In this place I found peace. Lessons became therapy and a place to escape the fears I felt swirling around in the world. Thankfully the passage… Read More
Have you ever considered the comfort of the walls around you or the floor beneath your feet? Recently, I considered this as I turned off the light switch and walked down the dark hallway towards my bedroom. My hands slid against the wall as I felt my way along. My feet pressed against the floor as I moved my body towards the door. For some reason the darkness felt denser and my… Read More
The water rages. It moves and it turns tearing jagged edges of ground. It is unstoppable. I see it in my mind. I feel it coming in the tremors from under my feet. They call to me to be prepared. Be prepared for anything. The trees shall fall. I see them in my mind. Large fir trees green from summer pulling out of the ground with ease like fine shoots of young… Read More
The sky is vast. A sea of blue water stretches out above. Geese honk in its air. The golden leaves flutter. They are free in the wind. When I look at my cares I feel stunted. But, when I look at you Jesus I see endless possibility. When I think of you, all becomes found. When you open my eyes I see beauty in these waters. When I breathe it’s air I… Read More
When I entered the doors of the new hospital in our town I was struck in awe by the wide hallways and large windows. Light streamed in from all directions. Tall white walls loomed around me like that of a grande temple. The voice of the tour guide was muted in the front row of people I followed. I was too busy being mesmerized. The building was beautiful. The stark difference between… Read More
In your mind picture the person you are the most fond of. Now picture them walking along a sidewalk on a sunny day. The backdrop of the blue sky highlighting their form. Consider the curves of their face. Think of their smile and how it sparks your heart. Move through your thoughts on why you love this person. Can you hear their voice in your head? Is there something they say to… Read More
My husband is an undiscovered inventor. He contemplates before he creates. Meticulously he analyzes and moves the topic around in his mind. When he does start to move, all I have to do is have a little faith. If I am patient enough my questions about what he is doing will eventually be answered along the way. He is thoughtfully creative. For our daughters second birthday he wanted to do something spectacular… Read More
I wonder if one day I will sit on the green grass and see my silver hair blowing loosely in my field of view. I wonder if I will see the shadow of my youth resting deeply within the wrinkles and lines of my face in the mirror. I wonder if I’ll be the elderly lady laying in a hospital bed watching the young nurse fumble through my pills. Maybe I’ll have… Read More
One night I had this vivid dream. I was in another realm. There were people there that I loved such as my husband. There were no children. The atmosphere was messy. There were large cliffs of dirt and hills of brown sand. Large giants hid themselves under the ground. I knew I had to protect myself. I believe I felt strengthened by my resolve to live. I watched others being taken down… Read More
As our bodies grow old and change I believe our spirits evolve into something bigger. My husband’s grandfather was an influential man. His soul was much bigger than his body. He took up space in a room and had so much spiritual weight. No one could have known him for any amount of time without feeling the affect of his influence. With his recent passing, heavens gain has gripped us painfully. My… Read More
