Lying quietly on the sofa, the artist is finished.
A restful time, not motionless, but somehow, still.
Consider what projects need doing, a busy life,
Perhaps needs calming in an ocean breeze.
A day off in the sunshine would be nice.
“When he finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.”
Gospel of Matthew
Overnight again, strange hotel room, the lights are out.
I lay resting, then suddenly, darkness snuggles me to sleep,
2:00 am CST disturbed, I stumble in the dark, looking for water,
I should turn the lights on, but enjoy the darkness and wonder of where I am.
There I AM, stumbling, trusting and relying in a small way, that I will find what I seek.
“Whoever has ears ought to hear.”
Gospel of Matthew
Today is a good day for weeding,
Wow, where did those thoughts come from,
and how did I start doing this again,
and who planted that one, I thought it was dead.
When the weeds start to flower, they will choke off the beauty my garden.
“First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning;
but gather the wheat into my barn.”
Gospel of Matthew
