TO KNOW

To know the answer to the question....
Who are you LORD??
Do I really know?
Maybe the question I am asking rather is..
Do I really WANT to know...
I find the Answer...
But to ACCEPT the answer is 
MONUMENTAL
Accepting .. who You are..
Changes life forever
If I really knew who YOU are..
I would know 
the choice has already been made.
No turning back...
YOU CHOSE ME
If I really knew who You are....
No hesitation coming to You.
 If I really knew who YOU are..
I would KNOW that You care.
 If I really knew who YOU are..
I would know that You turn...
the world upside down to bring
each lost little one into
......fuller
             deeper
LIFE.
 If I really knew who YOU are..
I would know..
You do not leave me at the brink
   of a wide, full, 
                       universe of love.
If I really knew who You are
I would know...
You draw me ever deeper...
ever wider,
ever higher,
into the knowledge
of
Your love for me.


 If I really knew who You are,
 I would know 
that before time...
You already knew
  that 
I would love
Choke cherries in summer 
    and
         High bush crannberries in winter....

Jesus- On the Way to Jordan's Shore

Heart longing
Grasshoppers chirring
Quiet evening breezing..
Warm sand whirling
On toes scuffing - worn.
 Wisps of wind,
Feather hair over eye-beams..
To see Oh to see!

So good to be in My Father's world.
Longing...
Longing to share the depths.
Contemplation - Deep yearning
Frustration - Who will truly know?
Lonely -Whose heart will meld with mine?
Hard, hard this world..
Longing to share the heart- songs
....others forget to see
.......too tired to see
.........too oblivious to see..
Longing ... 
The Mystery of eternity's golden thread
Weaving eternal sparks of life into time.
It is here! O taste and see!
Touch and feel!
Like honey..
       Velvet..
Sparking with Fire...
          Lost in wonder
Come!

Eternity Born Into Time

                                                                             Time locked earth
                                                                              Groaning for the Light..
                                                                              God not considering
                                                                                          holding onto Godhead
                                                                              Made himself nothing.
                                                                                       The Word.
                                                                               Light of the World,
                                                                              Hovered over darkness
Then through velvet  dark...
Brooding 
      breathing
          bearing forth
Human body from divinity.
Eternity birthed into time.....
Beginning of newness and LIGHT
"And being found in human form, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, yes, the death of the cross."World English Bible
May my yearnings..bring about the fullness of time...
Golden threads of eternity melding with time...
Reaching
      penetrating into every darkness....
For the Father Himself 
has taken Divine Hands made human,
Touching!
Tenderly to  turn stiff necked head,
eyes bent low...
gently turning .. eye-beams yearning...
A little higher..
Gentle touch on tip of chin,
Eyebrows furl..
Gaze in line with His own.



Communion .. Eternity with Time,
                    ...Time with Eternity,


Eyebeam to eyebeam.....


          SHINING !

Sunday Eucharist

In silence I sit,
Warm rivulets flowing,
          Streaming down cheeks,
                          Warm and pliant.
Rigidity released....
            Risk the abandoned flow!
Overwhelmed by being human,
           filled with Divine.
When out of my rut I risk the Divine.
           Oh the Mystery!
           Divine Delight,
As I gaze upon His face.

I NEED A MOP LORD!
I'm being human 
          filled 
            with 
                 Divine.
Ruts turned to Risk
Bridging to 
                 Eternity..

The Cross and Christmas

The Light of the World 
Shines in this dark place,
Love 
Expectant and yearning
Groaning with birth pangs.
Infinite Love,
Births from Eternity to Time.. 
Into
World groaning with burdens.
Waiting, waiting 
A sign.

Then
Groaning in agony on timeless tree
He takes it all on,
Darkness defeated,
Eternity is birthed into Time.
For love, all for love,
That I might have life and light from above.

I bow down in wonder
As Light pierces darkness.
My burden I lay down
and
I, I am lifted up
Up into YOUR love
Once more.
Fellowship restored 
To Dance , To Love
For Joy!
