Life

The mysteries of life surround me,

my heart pounds and my head throbs at its complexities.

The joys of life gather me up and carry me on their marvelous journey,

While the trials and devastation of  life cripple me and suffocate my spirit.

Blessed with desires that reach forth with hope and expectation,

cursed with an awareness of my limitations and lack....
 

Dreams baptized in a pool of passion and cleansed with a sense of righteousness,

that somehow fall short of their glory and splendor,

of their duty...


Happiness that abounds as it intensely as it eludes.

Sadness that hurts as deeply as it cleanses.

Questions that cry out for consideration.

Answers in these questions.

Searching and pondering in these writings for the questions that needs answering,

for the questions that we are afraid to ask ourselves.


Freedom in these writings

Excited, still, to be a part of this wonder,

to be alive, well. and to live in the grace of God.

Thankful for my soul, my being.

My uniqueness in this creation.


Happy in the solitude that could cripple my spirit

I have spent my whole life searching for what I want

now that I know - I can’t have it.


Life is truly a mystery.
