One Door

One door closes and another one opens.  However it’s the time that we are stuck out in the hall when both are closed is when our faith is tested. 

The Captain

We can give ourselves credit for things that we think we did well and it’s a great way for us to feel some sense of self-esteem even if we engage in hyperbole as to what actually transpired.  We all tend to exaggerate at times and that’s okay as long as we keep our heads right size and don’t get too carried away. 

Thin Spread

When you spread yourself thin you wind up with no jam on your toast. 

In Plain Sight

Mark Nepo inspired me today to write about how the darkness opens to the light. We find our way through the obscurity of the penumbra and the shadow of what can now be seen finds us in the darkness once again. There in plain view we see everything and see nothing. The obvious we were searching for disappears into our unconscious and blinds us as if the darkness had folded over the light we clamored for.  

Witness to Love

Today I bear my own witness to a different love than when we first met.  In a way it was more endearing than when I felt a different urge towards her. And of course it’s only natural to feel a more relational than sexual vision of your loved one as time goes by. However, it was wonderful to know that beneath the urges of the flesh were uncovered the deepest love I have ever known.  

Power

We give more power to the thought of what we lack than to the dynamism of abundance. 

Afraid some of us are to putting down roots no deeper than a windowsill plant. 

A Candles Flame

How is it that when we need to bring fire to a situation we can only muster the flame on a candle?

All good things come to those who wait unless of course you decide to run away from it.
