I don’t want visions or dreams if I cannot touch you

All I want is you Lord.

Teach me to speak for you alone

Draw me into the silence of your love

The loudness of your power

I need you alone

You’re the culmination where all my desire ends

If only I could touch you

Teach me to see you and love you in the people around me

To feed the needy, to heal the sick to love each being, because you loved them

While they are still sinners, you love them

Teach me

I crave comfort and approval, I mistake it for love

Please teach me to live on the edge of myself

Of my talents

Of all I know

Leaning into the abyss and wind

Believing against all rationality that you are the God

Who fights

Who wins

Who saves

Who heals

Who fathers

I live in perfect peace

I live in the place of my heart

That longs to be yours alone

You are all

All

That is necessary for life and breath,

All

For me.

looking forward to a quiet evening of puttering -

some homework

a movie

and getting to bed early.

“It is in silence that the soul most accepts God” – anonymous

In quietness and trust is your strength – Ps 30:15

As i run a flock of black birds swarms above me

and descend to the reeds to my left.

centered – the date with God was great,

but other than my centered mind the rest of me
is still in the clouds

smiling randomnly when i think of him

my new friend

the man i’ve been spending most of my free time with

talking

laughing

and it’s true

we’re ridiculous,

smiling like fools into each others eyes.

the crowds at the beach,

the people in the restaurant,

everyone else just fades into the background

and i’m ridiculously

happy.

Looking forward to a date with God on Saturday morning -

to sit on the sand

sipping hot coffee

watching waves

and asking my questions,

sharing my thoughts,

and hearing His voice.
