A Heart in the Woods
A Heart in the Woods
See it?
It is always there
even when darkness
tries to hide its image
See it?
In dawn’s early rising
light seeps into its open
crevices
See it?
A heart
In its center a
towering tree rises from
an earth which holds tenderly
the roots spread like a bed of
laughing dandelions
See it?
Yes, that tree…
It divides one half from another
Oh, but wait
See it?
It does everything BUT divide
See
the bridge?
It is a passage
a journey
looking back at
all the places,
discoveries,
adventures
rolling over
into
a ‘new’ place
where the only thing that
matters is
‘everything’
Everything and yet
nothing
Mind stretched
a self
unraveling from all
it has been told it is
and recognizing
as it slides over this
bridge
who it really ‘is’
for the first time.
Dear Sandy,
In my prayer today I give thanks for your vulnerability and willingness to share your musings, your wisdom, and your awe. I am grateful that God always invites to become “new” again – to be renewed by God’s Spirit. I will come back to this stream to be refreshed!!!
Peace,
Jenny
