The train has left the station — but my mind, that is speeding forth on a faster track, has already arrived at its predetermined destination — Unable to recount where I have been the rationale disguised as truth insists — “What you’ve missed is worth the price to get where you are going.”
***
It requires a necessary discipline, halting tracks to slowing down — To reconnect with the source of life, that in its disregarded elegance seems to beg for my attention. How could I give Creator and creation praise … blinded sometimes by my own intentions?
I wind down, breathless and amazed … as though it is a first. This free, most precious gift exciting senses, calming soul with Spirit’s peace — bares a beauty that abounds with seeds for endless blooming.

I love eggs and the value of nutrition they fulfill
I love that for a chicken it is not a sacrifice but an offering
That without guilt I can thoroughly enjoy
My friend offered her suggestion of how much better it would be
To have and taste farm fresh eggs from her sister’s hand raised hens
The idea became a desire that I quietly tucked away
When to my delight on a country walk I met these hens the very next day
It’s so important to remember
All the desires that our hearts and minds contrive
Because dreams soon become erased
In the maze of life’s unknowns
But God who knows us all so well
Forgets not his children’s hearts
Our grandest and even littlest thoughts are logged
Engraved in God’s own heart

I asked God where have You been
That I cannot see and cannot hear
In surrender the answer came to me
Asking with Your mind
Is not how our thoughts align
Your heart holds the key
To open communication between you and Me
Do not squander free will for worldly ends
For this world and its corruption will surely end
Seek with your whole heart what cannot die
Love is the beginning
Love has no end

I look for crosses everywhere
Especially when doubtful or in despair
But how amazed am I
When crosses cross my path
Unknown to me instead

Lord, oh God, Creator
Most Mighty, Holy One, Sacred and Supreme
When in lowly valley I fall sullen
You appear mysteriously so sudden
You gratefully redirect
My wanderings and my schemes
And permeate my dreams
The earth, and all of us, Your creation
Symbolic of who You are
Rivers flow on endlessly
Quenching the thirst of earth and all dependent on it
The waters unseen work churns beneath the surface
Hiding deep within its banks and bottom
Precious gems and many treasures
Living waters return to You in greater measure
By sweeping up each soul in its holy water
We, who You made most magnificent
We, who You trusted with Your creation
Return to You, most Holy One, who we call our Maker
And better yet, to love you more, as our Mother and our Father

Disrobe me Lord I pray
Of tempting temporal pacifications
That I might see with Holy Spirit eyes
And utilize and multiply the gifts of Your design
Make straight the path that leads to You and wide the portal of this heart where hidden treasures lie
Plant my feet and still my heart
And cause my soul to seek
With confidence so centered
To capture and contain all that freely comes from Thee
With rain from heaven soak me with your faith and grace
Always prepared to meet You face to face
Sanctify this temple home to be Your Holy place
Project upon my mind a glimpse of heaven’s glory
Let your thunder roll and lighting shake
Out the dark and dreary dread of night
Make patience work her fruitful task
Growing faith so great to cause the sun to wake
In a blaze of brilliant golden streaks
Where darkness has no place to seek
Turn hearts and minds to follow
On the path that you have promised
With hope to foster faith
In the confidence of Christ
To acknowledge You are here
Each breath and pulse in rhythm
With the ebb and flow of tides
Every wave that touches shore
Speaks in ocean’s tongue
Counting endless blessings

Aware you’ve drawn to me your sole attention
I freeze in wonder where to turn
Readying to swiftly spring to speedy flight
Then as usual in calm composure you casually stroll away
You see my likes most every day
But how often do you take the time
To contemplate my being
Or comprehend the miracle that we are all connected
Not by Easter or sadly not by stew
But rather that the same Creator
Loves as much both me and you
