Deeply listening to what is within and around us changes us. ~John Fox I’ve tried to write to the sound of music. It doesn’t work for me. I create better in silence. Although there really isn’t such a thing. It’s when I’m silent that I hear the sounds of silence. Silence makes you attentive to […]
The Eyes of a Child
She’s covered in Spanish moss. So’s the carpet. I move a couple chairs in front of the silk ficus and brush off and pick up what I can. I direct her attention to the stacking rings. I stack them. She dismantles them. I stack again. She dismantles again. The cat distracts her. She squawks and […]
Sunday Seasoned Sayings: A.W. Tozer

Friday Fuel for the Weekend: Hope
Hope Rises heavy under a misty veil i see dimly until startled by a cardinal on a naked branch and hope rises on scarlet wings. ~Sandra Heska King (2010) Hope is that thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops . . . at all. […]
Saturday Snaps: Birds, Branches, Bushes, and Baths
Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds. ~Matthew 6:26 (Message) All of these photos except the last two were taken through the window. With the baby camera. I haven’t broken in the new […]

The night hours creep through jangled sleep of beeps and bubbles lights and voices strangled by a crumpled sheet a slew of tubes every breath a challenge press a button take a pill pull it out put it back push it under shed a tear stabbed by pain smoothed and soothed with a cold cloth […]
Saturday Snaps: Hospital Shots
His eye is on the sparrow And I know He cares for me. Hospital time teaches trust patience humility and the need to let go of control. My daughter had lung biopsies on Wednesday and remains in the hospital. Where I have also stayed overnight with her. So I’m a little behind.
