Merry Christmas

Once, long ago, heaven reached down and touched earth and hope was born anew.

May you have a wonder filled holiday!

Christmas Wanderings, Re-post

the words are more familiar than obsessive thoughts as they bounce endlessly between ear and heart. they bring a now aged prophecy via the well worn path from daily fears and dutiful tasks to the mystic horizon of hope.

the horizon: the juncture of observed beauty and the failing of perception. the 'out there' place of tomorrows wanderings and future dreams.

here i hear them. simple words: behold. love. salvation. love. gift. within them resounding whispers remind me of that which must be known. the eternal truth that within Life, indeed, my life there is One who loves and who possesses the wonderful power to transform this malformed, mistake ridden existence into a journey of great worth, a journey as pure as the trek of a mother's hand as it gently caresses her child's face. today's words, wrought in ritual and sanctuary remembered in my soul such....Love.

Quoting

Maturity is a bitter disappointment for which no remedy exists, unless laughter can be said to remedy anything. - Kurt Vonnegut

Attacked

Humming tunes
Amid
Casual wanderings
Bouncing in rhythm
Freedom holds laughter
Levity in motion

Descending shadows
Falling
Guilt dampened shroud
Shame and worry bring
Anxiety's encasement

Disoriented movement an awkward
Stumbling
Bludgeoning blows of self doubt
Confusion, chaos' melody

Sings
