Through rainy thoughts Spring has its way with me Look into my longings And what they bring forth Check my desires and delights I do not fear your scrutiny What can bring greater contentment than to know my soul's winter will Find its spring?

Look up to the hills veiled in Light Look up to the vast space of Grace How deep can Grace go? My uncertainty cried Fear is what I fear I know best Look up to the lone standing tree It points to the sky Reaching right, reaching left Pointing down to [...]
Last Day of our Trip
It came up out of nowhere. The tall umbrellas, once far from the shoreline, were now nestled in water. The boat headed out had been beaten back, unable to mount it.
