moments of beauty


Tonight,

with a graduation,

important meetings

and all sorts of life events

on my heart and mind...


I took a walk,

found some coffee,

and talked to my family.


As I gather my kiddos into their evening baths,

pondering tomorrow...

considering life...

I must confess that I yearn

for the solitude of a quiet forest,

the dark of a star lit meadow,

the quiet hush as the sun sets over water.


Instead,

like all of you,

I am at my computer.


And yet,

I give thanks,

God is good.

Today,

Tomorrow

Always.


He has never left me.


Though the path is bumpy

and I'm feeling the rocks...


I know...

yes,

I know!

You and I are loved.

We are not alone.

No matter what is going on in our lives,

there is someone who cares for us.

Who loves us.


Not only is this true,

but my friends,

my family,

my dear ones...


They are with me.

... sharing my path...

May you and I keep walking.

Find the happiness around us...

Keep smiling.

May we be blessed.

My Son


My boy.
My little one.
Tonight my stomach hurts.
I've been talking over options with my ex.
Trying to decide what to do with our dear son.
Who we both love.
Who is sometimes very violent.
Who is loving and unaware of the implications of his behavior.
Who is ours.
Life is hard.
My heart is heavy.
May the One who made us all
guide us,
protect us,
comfort us,
keep us strong.
May your day,
my day,
our forevers,
be filled with the beauty
of His creation.
May the hard things in life,
the sad things...
May they pass...
Through the dark valleys,
may we find light.
God Bless you all,
Tonight,
Tomorrow,
Always.
