We have the sky in common
when we can see the stars, a place to gaze in union. Yet bent down, flung afar we worry about our futures, we have the sky in common. There's a world above us, further and closer, a diadem mother - a place to gaze in union. What wisdom sits in wonder: forgotten maps and visions are. We have the sky in common. Woven webs of golden scars our nighttime reservoir, a place to gaze in union. Our faces bright like lovers when we can see the stars, we have the sky in common: a place to gaze in union.

reawakening the senses; to know a wholeness of body, mind and spirit, which we seldom glimpse, but which we are intended to know. -George McDonald Your creation
is magnificent. I sit with the breeze in my hair, listening to the deep bush, bird calls, and your gentle Spirit coming softly with the wind - The clouds above move about the earth, each day new each day different. I breathe in Your beauty, the fresh air in my mouth, my nose and lungs. I imagine filling my whole body with Your light. Bathing in Your loving gaze, shaded in Your great tree and loving arms wrapped round me. I close my eyes and open them to a new dawn - I know all my blessings come from You. You are all good in my life passed and life to come. Hold me Father, and beloved Son let me rest awhile - You are the arms I have longed my life to feel - Show me Your heart that I may know mine. |
