Thirst
A parched one stoops to drink at the musical stream
Lapping up beauty with both ears
Soul revived as water bathes heart

That Space Before Today
Morning hush hangs thick and fragile –
transient – precious
Water splashing off her mop into the bucket
Clinking keys turning to grant entrance
Wet locks kiss my cheeks
still warm from sleep
A zoom of a vacuum and the
silence is no more
Welcome to today.

Some noise is imposed, and some noise is chosen. And even when there is outer silence, there can be inner noise… or outer noise and inner silence – the “silence” of inner space for God to speak.
silence is no more
Welcome to today.

“You Speak” - song by Audrey Assad
“You Speak” - song by Audrey Assad
You liberate me from my own noise and my own chaos
From the chains of a lesser law You set me free
In the silence of the heart You speak
And it is there that I will know You and You will know me…
You satisfy me till I am quiet and confident
In the work of the Spirit I cannot see…

Vines
Curving vines creeping across the fence
remind me of a choice:
to what will I choose to cling
and in what direction will I go and grow?
Who or what will be my “stake”?
