distance ...

it's a muggyish early summer night

the crickets and the frogs and the whatyamacallits
are whistling joyfully ...

i'm walking the dog
and a thought occurs ...

............. . . ... ...  .. ...

perspective

trying to gain
something of a good balance

to gain
i have to occasionally distance ...
not from 'you' ...
for me

creating space
for me
and my Elder Brother

to be together

just there

perhaps talking
occasionally
perhaps not

mostly
i speak my heart

mostly
i listen
well .... maybe not mostly

but that's ok
he listens
to me

and
we're there
in the distance i made
for us

it's not about 'you'
it's about me
this time

and him
my master

and allowing him
to change me
while he listens

into him


that was the prologue for my next blog ..... . .. .... . .  .

peace

  1. More people need to do this.....no matter where they do it. For me, when I'm home alone I walk around the house talking out loud to Him. There is no one to hear; it's just me and Him.

    1. I want to add that I don't think God cares where we talk to Him; He just would like to hear from more of us. I may be cooking, cleaning the tub, hanging laundry......it doesn't matter. That is what makes it a "relationship"......it has to be a constant communication, not a morning devotional and then not think about Him or talk to Him until bedtime or the next morning. I am not faulting those who do it that way; I just believe as we mature/grow in our relationship with Him, we are free to have the ongoing dialogue (or monologue) with Him. I know I have grown into that in the last ten years or so. ....just more of my rambling thoughts
