Let Me Live, Grace-fully
Thank you Lord,
for this season….of sun and slow motion, of games and porch sitting, of picnics and light green fireflies on heavy purple evenings;
and praise for slight breezes. It’s good, God, as the first long days of your creation.
Let this season be for me…..a time of gathering together the pieces into which my busyness has broken me. O God, enable me now….to grow wise through reflection, peaceful through the song of the cricket, recreated through the laughter of play.
Most of all, Lord, let me live easily and grace-fully for a spell, so that I may see other souls deeply, share in a silence unhurried, listen to the sound of sunlight and shadows, explore barefoot the land of forgotten dreams and shy hopes, and find the right words to tell another who I am.

I so love the line about broken piece busyness. I know that feeling and pray for stillness to collect my pieces daily. Somedays the putting back together isn’t so easy. This passage and imagery is calming to me. I will save. Happy Holiday weekend to you. Safe travels and sunshine to you and your lovely family. Love to you.
Love the airstream! I’ve always wanted one of those, a silver blaze into the distance.
What a sweet piece. I hope you are well and have a beautiful week~
