I've actually been meaning to blog for ages and ages (that's probably dramatic, but at least a couple of weeks), thinking that I'll just find time, magically, and I will be calm and on top of things and have my thoughts together, and I don't know--I was waiting for perfection for the writer. Once again reminded that it doesn't exist how we think it does (but oh, it does exist!).
So, even though I have tests to write and lessons to plan and a day to get started, I'm just going to take a minute and let the world keep spinning while I sip my coffee, get my brain going and spill a bit. Because, honestly, those "busy" parts of life will always be there and we have to figure out how to manage it all as we give up control, let it go, lay it down, and pick up responsibility along with peace, dress ourselves with wisdom and humility and compassion and kindness instead of worry and fear and frustration. Tired is as tired does, but it doesn't have to be that way.
All who are thirsty
All who are weak
Come to the Fountain!
Stop, sit,
drink, eat
taste and see
Why are you chasing after the wind?
goodness and delight
really can be found
why are you chasing after the wind?
When you drink this water,
you won't be thirsty
The youthful glow you desire
is so much less than the splendor
from an everlasting, never-ending
joy-giving covenant offered
There is knowledge beyond your knowledge
Do you feel that sometimes?
Grasping, reaching, perhaps falling
Feeling at the whims of fate?
Can you understand that there's a plan
and you're a beautiful little puzzle piece
As such you can hope for the weary
and the broken
because you, too
tired, small, jagged and all that
So come and be
be led
be renewed
be taught
be challenged
be still
be
The harvest awaits, so you, too, must wait.
Why not do it purposefully?
Enjoy and disfrutar of the in-between times.
Listen to the voice of the Shepherd and keep walking.
Keep your hand on the plow.
Let what will be, be, and keep on keepin' on.
Shhh. Yum! Oooh. Wow! hmm. Yay! ahhh.
