Musings

Today I was running at this lake near my house and I had a revelation. Actually, I should call it a REVELATION. It was that good. I usually get some good stuff when I work out, which should be good incentive to do it more often.

Right.

Anyway, back to the REVELATION.

I realized how much I love the breeze that comes off the water.
At this lake, at other lakes, particularly at the ocean.
And my REVELATION was this:

The WIND can move so freely across the surface of the water because there
is no LAND clogging up the space.


I will say it again louder:


The WIND can move so freely across the surface of the water because there
is no LAND clogging up the space.

Things are cleansed in that wind.

Things are birthed in that wind.

There is CREATIVITY in that wind.


***********

I want all my LAND to be flooded, overflowing, spilling out, running over, draining into the peripherals so that the WIND can move freely.

that is really good! amen, sister!

reminds me of that verse:

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Heb 12:1

Oh I LOVE this! SO glad I dropped by to visit your blog...finally! This is absolutely nourishing:)
And I'm inspired. I must buy another sketch book TODAY....it's been way too long. I used to use them for everything...even journals.
I wonder why I stopped.

ANYWAY, much thanks for this wonderful meal and some newfound inspiration! -Jennifer
