waiting for wisdom

the best place to be.

Hey, Intimacy

oldschool, so glad I came across it.

I'll make the coffee
You bring the contemplation
"I like your mug,"
full of appreciation

the littlest things
you know how to admire
the littlest things

you came here for breakfast
and stayed here for lunch
do you like frozen grapes?
cause I have a bunch
(get it, a bunch?)

you knew i must be nerdy,
(i knew you had a hunch)
but you still came at 9:30
(i like that a bunch)

you agree they'd make the perfect treat
for our improv lunch

the littlest things
you know how to admire
the littlest things

because the littlest things you said,
comprise the sum
as beautiful each little thing;
how stunning, the great one!

we consider the pebble
and remember the boulder
we consider the pebble
and remember the boulder
you're fond of my hair
it's fond of your shoulder
we consider the pebble
and remember the boulder

Incidents require precedents.

The word "attention" is derived from the Latin ad-tendere—"to stretch towards."

wisdom as patient

may we patiently hope for yours.

Relating Well

"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with the Lord’s people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn."
Romans 12:9-15

Like melancholy music
eases a sad soul,
our listening ears
glistening eyes
empathetic sighs
joyful leaps
excited peeps
give our hearts
voice to speak
where our tongues
cannot.

Mine to Enjoy

Stunning hope! Beautiful life!

Every thought
every thing
in
every thanks
to God!

among the fascinating and humbling attributes of love is its marked undeservedness.

Seasoning

as only proper for highlighting that which it accompanies.
If it overshadows, it's not right.

Rosemary. Coffee. Old words. Heart-bursting appreciation. Renewed life. Zero 7. I am really not my own. If you love, show love.

"In all this field of our material well-being, individual or collective, I can never find anything to say to God except Thy will be done. If it is true, as St Paul tells us - and it surely is - that all things work together for good to them that love God, then all that is required of us is that we should love God, and, in loving him, fall in with his purposes."
.Malcolm Muggeridge

Oh dorm, your limits fuel my inspiration.

If it's the thought that counts, then our continued bit of extra thinking completes the equation with accuracy.

"Our hope isn't in our ability to reach high, rather our hope is in God's humility to reach very low."

Even in my unfaithfulness, you call me home. Lights on. Favorite dinner ready.


Life is so much better than I make it to be;
often, than I allow it to be.


Con mis palabras puedo reconciliar la gente a la vida real.
Con mi vida, puedo reaseguirir esta reconciliacion.
La salvalcion esta aqui
en la vida
en luz
No lo comprendo, pero se
lo que sea
la verdad.

The Burden of the Gospels

"Much of the action and the talk of the Gospels takes place outdoors: on mountainsides, lake shores, river banks, in fields, and pastures, places populated not only by humans, but by animals and plants, both domestic and wild. And these non-human creatures, sheep and lillies and birds, are always represented as worthy of, or as flourishing within, the love and the care of God."
- The Way of Ignorance, Wendell Berry
