Grieving

Grieving goes only
where Brave is willing

Brave is alone
trusting

It feels alone

Listening

Straining to hear
is not better
than listening
quietly
knowing
the answer will come

I try to tell myself

Long thoughts

It takes a long time
to think long thoughts;

Much longer to distill them
to words anyone can hear.

We are Bosnia

Music from my other site…for those times and ours, too. A desperate prayer.

Grace and peace to all of us…

Mary-ing

Christmas is a lot of Martha-ing
Not so much Mary-ing

I’d like to choose the good part
Alongside Mary

A Mary Christmas seems fitting

38 Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who was also seated at the Lord’s feet, and was listening to His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do the serving by myself? Then tell her to help me.” 41 But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and distracted by many things; 42 but only one thing is necessary; for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
