On Love

Monday, May 24th, 2010

“Love does not have to be all flowers and pounding hearts; it doesn’t have to be drama and pain. Maybe love is two people who need each other; who understand each other; who want nothing more than to be with each other at the end of the day.” – Jason Shields

May-15-2010-Sprouts

There is such beautiful in observing life in action. There is peace in growth and cultivation.

I am working on growing and cultivating a friendship at the moment. If NOW is all that we have, we cannot dwell on the past, there is only the NOW in which we reside. From this knowledge, I am hoping to see a sprout of compassion and understanding develop, that may someday be a great and admirable plant.

It gives me something to aspire to!

Praying the Psalms

Monday, May 3rd, 2010
I joined a Tuesday night Encounter Group at my church. Each week, we are doing a study of one of the Psalms. I’ve discovered, as of late, that there is much comfort (and inspiration) to be found in these studies. David, in the desert of Judah (Psalm 63): “My soul thirsts for you. My body longs for you. In a dry and weary land where this is no water… My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods.” This actually came to mind over the weekend when I was preparing a grilled sandwich for my partner’s son. It smelled wonderful. I longed for the taste… brought back by fond memories. However, in the quiet of my mind I said a quick prayer, asking to be satisfied and grateful for that which I was partaking – something raw and green. Saying a quick prayer, my soul was satisfied and I felt content.
