It’s been almost two weeks since I’ve posted here. It’s been a little scary being silent here. I run the risk of offending or you losing interest in my offerings. Although I’ve been writing for school, I’ve also been dabbling with old word patterns, ways of expression I set aside when evaluators lost appreciation for my words.
Here is a sample:
There’s been a quiet settling in my soul
like the hush of snowfall
I’m not certain what is coming
but I know what I’m letting go
productivity equaling my value
driven action to meet others’ expectations
busy-ness to fill the solitude

Holy Days filled with room
Room for baking with dimpled hands and eager ideas
Room for listening, reading, laughing
Room for building
train tracks, towers and relationships
Making room for Holy hush
My hope for you in the next 15 days is a heart full of awareness of those around you and the bravery to make room. Perhaps to face the loss of those who are no longer around your table or the hurt of fractured relationship. We are still on the 100 Days to Brave journey. Whatever it may be, I pray you will face the days with courage.
Lisa. Thank you for your words that encourage me to slow down and enjoy the time I have with family and friends.
I’m thankful to know you’re encouraged Kathy! I appreciate you sharing how your heart responded to today’s post.
