Reflections from Late Summer Lake

From my reflection time this morning:

You have revealed your beach
it is raw and vulnerable

the vultures were
here yesterday
chowing on a catfish carcas

the nutgrass sprouted
overnight

oh God, your provision
hidden beneath the surface

I linger by the shore
to listen
to the raw
and vulnerable

It has been awhile since I have been brave enough to share. As the draught reveals her raw and vulnerable places, why shouldn't I? From the depth of my being, I thank you for being the reflection of my soul today.

I had a call with a friend. I was able to share the words I wrote this morning. My friend was able to reflect back to me the raw and vulnerable beaches. From the depth of my being, I thank you for being the reflection of my soul today.

Breath of Life, Living Water, Compassionate Provision, indeed you are always present. As I linger by the shore today, you send me so many reflections of love to heal the raw and vulnerable places beneath the surface. From the depth of my being, I thank you for being with me always.
