The wellsprings of love within the heart often
surprise us with their depth. Though we are often shallow in thought or word,
what comes from the unseen depths of our heart can be hard to bear. How do we
define what is there except to mutter all sorts of unintelligible things that
attempt to give flight to the flightless or define the unseen and immortal.
Words fail miserably where a look, a touch, a caress, a hug or a kiss are much
more complete. Why then do we bother with words other than "I love you?"
They are wasted effort when lovers are together and only a valiant attempt when
they are apart. Only by their presence can love seat itself in their hearts,
take root and grow into beautiful perfection. Only then does what was sown
become inseparable and forever part of them. Love becomes who they are.
Creation Anew
O' the depth of the perfection
That is the agony of souls.
Unquenchable is Your thirst
As You rend my mortal body.
Your weapon has found its mark
And I am deeply wounded.
My heart has been pierced
Spilling my life to the dust.
Affliction comes to affliction;
Settling upon my weary shoulders.
Abandonment is my lot.
Suffering is my reward.
I am broken, trampled low,
Cast aside and forgotten.
I am burned in Your anger.
Your eyes sear my flesh.
I quake to the depths
At the sound of Your voice.
Your breath howls fiercely
Tearing reality asunder.
Lightening splits the heavens,
Thunder shakes its foundations
As You approach in Your glory
To gather Your victory harvest.
Peace ensues in silence
Deafening in its portent.
The splendor of Your presence
Brings stillness to my heart.
I am weak! My strength is gone!
No more shall I resist You.
All of the deceit and deception
Is lifted from my burden.
Hatred and malice suddenly vanish
In the delicacy of Your smile.
Strength returns in the glow
Of Your beckoning call.
Fear of You has been transformed
To love as life returns to me.
You have renewed my strength
As you become a part of me.
You have beckoned! Come!
I heard and have answered
As a new bride does her husband;
In humility just to be near You.
You kept me for Your own.
Saved me for Your own.
Love is mine forever and ever
With my new loving creator.

Solitude, "the desert
experience,"
is life giving. It is the
freshness of
touching new life within
myself. It is
the peace in dedication to
loving union
between God, Spirit, nature,
man and
self. It is the flowing
conversion into
song of simple beauty beyond
word or
expression. It is the
stripping of self
into the naked real me.

That is it for this week. May the good Lord bless you and keep you safe. Remember to "Alway Love The Details."
