silver slippers don't get you back home like red slippers doIn your ocean, I'm ankle deep, Lord.

  Lord – can I love you more
    serve you?  Go deeper still?
      Holding your hand as you guide me?

We all want to believe in something.
  Our folks and our families
    love
    Success
    Ourselves
    our ability to turn things around
  hope
    sheer determination and the American Dream

  the benificient mountain gods
 
  the one thing.

      What is your one thing?

  it's like the "if only_______, then I'd be happy" 

    but then the
      dream car crashes or someone barfs in it
      dream house needs cleaning and a new sump pump
      dream girl doesn't understand you
        or the dream guy comes home late and disheveled each night
     
      or the economy shifts, turns, rolls over, and plays dead
            families separate by miles

  we grow weary and tired

and realize that our best efforts
    and big believing dreams
    ushered us to this place

    of NOT KNOWING
        BROKENESS
        CONFUSION
        POVERTY
          of all kinds.

Then What?

"The Moses said, "If you don't personally go with us, don't make us leave this place."
    exodus 33:15

Something Beautiful by NeedtoBreathe

One response to “Something Beautiful”

  1. Rich– Everybody I know says they need just one thing. But what they really mean is they need just one thing more…

    Everything else fades. It’s so effing difficult to remember. But so true.

    Thanks for the reminder today.

    much love.
