The Lord Remembers

The Lord Remembers ~

The horizon disappears into the clouds

Doves cry out as the rain comes down

Strong coffee in a small mug, strong pen in a small hand

Slow reveals of big conceals, yet still so little I understand

I count the days again, I count the miles and then

I recall as many dreams as I can 

The waves so powerful last night they shook my bed

Something broke free and all the words filled my head

Awake Awake your dream is here

That unseen place, that unknown time is near

Look through the mist

Look through the distance

The rain has washed away the dust making everything glisten

The pause has resumed, quiet yourself and listen 

Isaiah 43:19; 55:8-9, Jeremiah 33:3, 2 Peter 3:8-9

"Listen Carefully, I am about to do a new thing, now it will spring forth; Will you not perceive it? I will even put a road in the wilderness, rivers in the desert." 

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways" declares the Lord. "For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways."

"Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you and even show you great and mighty things, things which have been confined and hidden, which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish."

Nevertheless, do not let this one fact escape your notice, beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years like one day. The Lord does not delay as though He were unable to act and is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is extraordinarily patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance. 

The Nest

The Nest ~

Home near the water and in the trees

Hear the birds and taste the seas

Bring moss and twigs and flowers

We'll be weaving and twisting for hours

Search out the world for green materials

Coastal edges, Mountain ledges, and ethereals 

Finally, it is done, it is finished, but only almost complete 

Soon A round one, then a new one, a teeny tiny tweet

A tiny Finch nest I came across today while pruning the Ixora. Barely big enough to hold one chicken egg. I was most impressed by the Moss. It's a dry coastal climate here. That’s a special order item, mountain trip for daddy bird or Amazon delivery. There's an array of Finches in close vicinity, some smaller than the hibiscus flowers or as big as the flying cockroaches. Some dandy in tuxedos, some flower lovers in yellow, or green or red. Most with a Hawaiian name beginning with "A".

and of all the seeds, the mustard seed is the smallest, but when it has grown it is the largest of the garden herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air find shelter in its Branches."
