A big thank you to Mark at Wayoutwest, for the following link to a blog that is really, really worth book-marking, girlgrowing, one full of poetic insight and inspiration.
The day after twelve people died in the UK due to weather related incidents the following is a blessing in itself:
1-14-07
may you be blessed
as you continue to seek out
honesty, and truth, and peace
desiring more than passing, cheap, flippant intimacy.
may you be blessed
as you travel through seas of strangers
desperately wanting to be seen
and not merely passed by
yearning for a touch, a word, a presence.
may you be blessed as you authentically try to respond
to the God-given wrenching of your gut
making you aware that a need is near
and someone is waiting on your touch, your word, your presence.
may the blessing of a love that transcends indifference and brings reconciliation
be in your heart and in your mind and in your hands
as you travel to and fro-
constantly aware that even now you are surrounded by love.
may you seek, may you be completed, and may you be blessed.
amen.
thank you so much nigel! it appears you have a great amount to say as well! i'll definitely be looking in on your journey :) thank God for the internet, eh?
