And so I have walked.
At first I walked far from you but in time I walked with you.
By your side.
I do not think it was for a short time or for a long time.
I simply know we walked together and I am grateful for every moment.
My journey now is different.
And though I still walk with you, my path has ever widened.
And for you it may feel as if I am not there at all.
I know.
I knew that feeling many times myself before now.
And now, oh now, I have come to grasp the beauty of all of it
That grief is a product of love and though grief may pass, love will remain.
So do not scorn the grief lest you lose hold of love.
Rather, know that I carry you with me on my path.
Open your eyes and heart to those around and about you who walk beside you now.
Reach out your hand to join all joy, to comfort all sorrow, and to meet all needs.
In this, you carry me on your path.
In this, you celebrate all who you miss and with whom I walk.
In this, you join our paths in love and remember that we are never truly apart.

the papers are all over the floor again…well, why not
gravity speaks to the everlasting weight of things
a shout at once, the whispers in time
but all that once is will be was
and there is no fortress free from the ages
as for me i cannot deny the call of the taming
and i cannot tame the denying of the call
for it is the wind so free that fills the sails
but the discipline of the cloth that pulls the mast
yet perhaps it is not so
it could simply be that i am the ship
and all of my tacking about is
but a searching
for the breath of God
to fill my sails
and push my hull
to the new world

It has been 2067 days since I last visited this little project. Been busy. Time to return.
