Compelled outside. Early morn. Forsaking beauty for over-sized boots. Loves Eternal. Still asleep. Wooden dock calling me…. Out of constricting walls. Into open field. Down grassy path….. To waters edge whispering. And there…..I drown in silence. Devouring His peace, like breakfast to the soul. Searching for Heaven’s handouts….even more….. And I absorb unfiltered air….unbound by walls […]

It is a challenge from, The Gypsy Mama. And I am always up for a challenge. It should be fun. It might be difficult. But, here it […]
