Being mentored by God

aware
no doubt
He is present.

can you hear Him?
really hear Him?
active listening.
listening in action.

darkness
impenetrable.
is this also good?
bright circumstances turned dark.
His character?
in all still good.

aware
no doubt
He is present.

like a fountain, a river, an ocean
Love flowing free
unhindered.
His conduit of love.
am I?

a light breeze
coming,
going.
breathing in,
out.
a steady rhythm.
soothing,
peaceful,
pulsating.
Life so close.
His life so near.
an embrace
beyond description.

aware
no doubt
He is present.

Inspired by the photographic artistry of Lynn Royer

Yellows and browns, their lines streaming upward toward the sky – speckled with blue green mist. Lines reaching downward with grace flowing toward the earth below – a beautiful pattern drawn by “chance” on this canvas of nature. A golden yellow canvas spattered with paints of aqua, fine as lace.

Do you not see my artwork, how I have made you?

Beautiful!

A dead leaf? No, colors of brilliance! The colors of a sunrise and the misty green of the sea or of a forest, full of life and expectancy for a new day.

Is this not my life – redeeming – reclaiming that which has fallen as dead becoming the background for a work of beauty of the master artist.

Know you are mine, my work of art, not yet complete but already appreciated – cherished – valued – worthy – loved.
