i find myself thirsty
for plain sounds that whisper,
glory.
sure words resonate
where i can hear, once again,
God moving
through broken lines
that murmur with tenderness. but
at the heart of poetry,
silences.
~Laure Krueger as quoted by L.L. Barkat in God in the Yard
In the stillness,
Sandy
Welcome to the Still Saturday Community where we pause after a busy week, move in quiet pilgrimage, maybe linger a while in some still place, and soak in the beauty of images and reflect on the depth of sparse words. We’d love for you to join us. Grab the button and link up below. We all love to hear if something especially speaks to your heart, but please don’t feel pressured to comment. Simply take some time to be still together, to gaze long and drink deep.
Thanks for hosting, have a great weekend. Blessings
I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend, Terri.
Your photos are always beautiful and this quote is so lovely.
Thank you, dear friend.
Yes! Thirsty for those plain sounds that whisper glory. I think that perfectly describes my life as an introvert. =) Have a glorious weekend, my beautiful friend. xoxox
I think you and I would make good roommates. 😉
Sandra, I am not sure which spoke more deeply this morning – the quote or the photo. I am so grateful for those unexpected places! Have a wonderful weekend!
Grateful for you, Joanne.
that is simply beautiful – both images and words
I’m so glad you are here, friend.
I can only just begin to imagine the patience (stillness) that must have been required to get those eloquent bird photos. Thank you for the time and energy that you invest in this community every week. Blessings to you and your family. (Trusting that all is well with their accommodations . . .)
Thanks so much, Michele. As far as accommodations–it’s challenging for all of us. It’s all good, though. 🙂 (P.S. Don’t stop praying, K?)
When the wind blows down my driveway, breezing around the corner of my house – He is in it! When the baby bird chirps in its nest in the burning bush nestled up to a porch pillar – He is there! Oh, yes, Sandra! He is in my yard – in such unexpected ways!
Yes. Yes! Give us eyes and ears to see and hear.
Your bird captures are always so breathtaking. Thinking about you today and sending a hug. xxx
Love you so big, Shelly! I’m so glad these keys keep us close even through you’re across the pond.
Stunning quote and photo. Thanks for hosting and God bless.
Thanks, Laurie. Love to you.
Just added your link up to Reflect Link up.
Thanks so much, Jann.
I love that quote. And that sweet little birdie. 🙂
