Psalm 36:5-9

The drawing, not the drive

Breath to thrive, not just survive

Thoughts composing into peace

The heart transforming into a fleece

Breath’s warmth as close to a fire

Dread quenched by the lips’ desire

Willing to wonder, but wandering

Stopped in stillness, now pondering

Deeper today than faster yesterday

Fostering tomorrow by learning to play

Forgotten tomorrows no longer by what I say 

Sorrows grounded darkly in height

Clearer vision by decision from the living Light.

Isaiah 40:21

Flying by the feet of their dance.

1 Corinthians 3:18

Remove theoretical constructs that block wisdom, perception, freedom, and direct observation.

Childlike

The power to grasp understanding.

Biases R Us

Pride, prejudice, or expectation.

Today

End less tomorrow.

Serious Joy

Is it really so mysterious how to take joy so serious that I can believe at length that the joy of the Lord is my strength?

Does joy mean humour or is that just a rumour?

Is there a method to this "madness" or is my humour really sadness?

The Lord puts laughter in our mouth from His "north" to our "south".

Does this cause our "south" to rise again?

Is this where our resurrection of joy begins?

Is this a question I ask of men or is this such a time

when my faith becomes kin?

Kin in such a way that I learn to hate sin?

Does hating sin remove the fun or is taking joy so serious that it's a pleasure in being a "son”?
