Wholeness

Complete
"Thy faith has made thee whole"

without faith are we not then incomplete?
something un fullfilled, undone?

Do we not want to be complete
and with God one?

Gratitude
How close is it to faith?

3 strands of a braid
faith, gratitude, charity

charity would then be action on the faith and gratitude

what about hope? perhaps hope and gratitude are the same things, one looking forward, one backward

would that not breed love?
and from love the actions of charity

hole

I am not pro-abortion
no one is
I'm pro medical care
I believe a woman, her support network and her doctor
should figure out what is best
not a law, or governement
every situation is differnt
but they all leave
a hole in our heart
where a baby should be

Rethink

I had an abortion

Me, a Christian woman

Mother of 8

I love babies

I had to

Without it

I would still be carrying

A dead fetus inside

I would only be

Mother of 3

Ancestors

What beautiful people they are
staring at me from brown toned photos
taken when they were young
what amazing people they became
what lives they loved and lived

Be Still

Do you think Jesus wanted to sleep 

when he calmed the sea?

standing on deck

rain, wind beating my face

waves taller than me

Am I uncomfortable 

enough to wake him?

Although I may not have 

power over winds and waves

-yet-

I control the storms

inside me

still my soul

cry out in faith

not fear

Peace

Be Still

Zion

Angels

beautiful lights
peace of our happy dead
reach to touch my hand
they are ready, Am I?

Glitter

Plastic glitter- the kind used in schools
doesn't vacuum out of carpets
and is dangerous to ocean animals

Luckily, we don't need it

I see glittery leaves
as they flip front to back in the breeze

I see glittery frogs
as the light bounces off
their green speckled backs

on the waves of the lake
when the echos of sky get disturbed

in each
raindrop
dewdrop

eyes of a child

when you look at me
I see it in my heart
shining speckles of gold
