I look into the distance before me, watching with eyes focused upon the horizon. I can hear voices call to me from behind, but I do not turn to look back. It is enough for me to remember where I’ve been without positioning my eyes upon these places of old.

For the umpteenth time I blew it! The voices coming wanted to shame me into guilt. I took a deep breath and purposed myself to blow out all the candles lit by my accuser. When the smoke cleared I could easily see truth again.

Awake, awake, sing a song! Arise ….(Jdg 5:12)

Because I am simple
I can be me

As the night draws deeper in hour, we strive to settle ourselves.
Inventorying our days, we come to the reality of time spent.

When I can look at someone and ‘only’ see their potential, then maybe?…I’ve matured some? Until then, I know I need better eyesight!

“I know about you but what about Me?”….*
Moving closer I can only see the One who matters. My need to exist in my flesh fades into nothing as I am absorbed into His truth.

All of us must swim the seas

My only purpose is to swim the seas
Find the truth and spread it around
Give it to the children that know how to listen
so they can pass it after I drown *

Contemplating the deeper things can look an awful lot like doing not much of anything to the eyes of the world.
