Let Me Attend Thee...

Updated: Jun 26, 2024

Rest....this morning as I sip my first but most definitely not my last hot cup of heaven I think on these things. Resting in the presence of God and marvelling at the works of His Hands.

I had occasion to 'run' into the former monster in my life this past friday....no fear, no trepidation just the thought of what would be the wisest course of action given the bi-polar nature of his temperament and actions.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30

I sit in wonder...I sit in thankfulness for peace, for grace, for love from a few precious souls...

These things sustain...these things save dear friends...they plant roots at the feet of those who suffer, who struggle to find purchase, to find purpose and motivation after trauma...a few words of love, of compassion and the soul lifts to the skies...

A kind soul brings peace wherever they walk, smile, laugh, envelop within their circle...

These things attend to grief, to sorrow as bottomless and vast as the universe in all its mystery.

Today I go once more out to a site far from my little village...I go in good company, in great company to work alongside those who uphold, who by word and deed showcase the beauty in humanity each and everyday. Accompanying this miracle is the deluge of beauty that meets the eye everywhere we look.

The sun and occasional rain that sparkles and drips from ancient trees and new saplings...

The soaring eagle over a lake of such vast proportions it boggles the mind...

The rising mountains set with coniferous of such size it dwarfs the massive black bear walking among them...

The sound of the wind whistling through trees and across the water creating ripples and whitecaps as it moves...

My friends...beauty is visible wherever you cast your gaze...beauty that lifts the mind from despair, from sorrow...there is much to see, to learn, to live...

As I move through this week I think on the long weekend ahead and the camping to be done at a remote location...the casting from shore, wading in as deep as possible before throwing my line...the moose who accompanies me wherever I go keeping me company and creating laughter as he frolics among the water, races along the shoreline chasing butterflies...

There is peace to be found...

Whatever your belief...creator or Allah, God or the universe...we see evidence in all things living and breathing upon this earth...and oh, it goes deep dear treasures....it digs in and clears out the cobwebs...it bores deep and clears out confusion and dismay...

May your week be filled with compassion, with kindness, with love so big it chases away the demons, the depression, the despair and grief. May God meet you where you are and bring you peace, bring you comfort and a lightness of soul and spirit.

God be with you today and each day forward as you move and have your being. May you find your footing even in rocky places...may you know your place in this world.

Needed...

Necessary...

Loved without measure...created for a purpose....Loved, worthy, accepted and cherished.
