choosing light, late

enjoy the full moon

her email read

twas late

but i unarmed the alarm

threw open the bolt

and stepped out

onto cold concrete

barefoot

how is it

i fail to avail myself

of such wonder

(sitting instead behind

the latch)

night after

glorious 

night?

"It was never the right time, or it was always the right time, depending on how you looked at it." 

                                  ~Ann Patchett (Bel Canto)

words spoken to a bunny

there you sit little one
in a world fraught with
danger

don't fear me
for i am kin

i know what it's like
to be frightened
to feel that the only safe move
is no move
at all

seeing you reminds me
of the profound tenderness
with which Jesus sees us both

understanding as He does
all that it means
to live on this tiny, beautiful,
and dangerous
planet



"He came with them to a place called Gethsemane......where He began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then He said to them, "My soul is very grieved, even unto death, stay and watch with me."
                                                                                                          Mt. 26:36-38

Our Savior King, is indeed able to sympathize with our weaknesses. Heb. 4:15
