spring – Rivers Renewed

The Peace of Spring

When the peace of spring flows through me

I usually wait, and listen

in the quiet place,

in that part of me where I’m open

carrying a sense

of wonder

and awe.

When Spring Speaks to Us

When spring speaks to us in the bursting of oak leaves,

or in the hyacinth boldly expressing who she is,

it has always been to lift us, so that we in turn

can lift up others. The Earth returns

quite frankly to save us, to restore

hope in our hearts.

Wholeness

Life from the earth once frozen reinforces we are loved,

yet I wonder, isn’t there redemption

in each season? a way

for us to discover who

we really are, and

who we were always

meant to be, to find

that place, that space of the heart

that speaks

of wholeness

that we’ve always dreamed about,

and have always needed.

The Beauty of Spring

The beauty of spring not only lives in our flowers

but in the hearts of us, so taken by rebirth

in awe of everything made,

including ourselves

in our amazing place, our space

on this earth

made alive again.

The Sun in the Pine Trees

As I walked out the door, March winds brought December with them

tossing tree branches in every direction, yet the evergreens

were holding steady, and the sun in the pine trees

spoke to me saying, “don’t be deceived, spring

has not gone away…”

Thankful for Spring

I’m so thankful for the way spring fills us,

the way God intended

making us alive again,

lifting us, strengthening our hearts,

moving us forward.

Yes, I’m so thankful for spring, and for you my readers. You’re wonderful! Thank you also for your patience as we practice self-care. I know it should be easy to do, but it’s not.

When I practice self-care I have to put things aside. Which means I’ve been here less often than I would like to be. This is new for me. I sign on less often and post less often.

Please remember that I don’t blog with my phone! Thank you for your patience as I answer your messages. I’m very grateful for your comments.

Thank you so much for reading!

Hearts Running Free

So many of us weary from winter, look forward expectantly

that maybe this season will lift us, free us

that our hearts can run free again,

believing once more,

as we breathe

that good air

warmed

by the sun.

Spring Has a Way

Spring has a way of infusing us with greenery and sunlight, walking by streams

of hope once eternal, and in a way,

in an almost tangible way

we believe again

in the unseen.

The Strength and Healing of Spring

The strength and healing of spring, in the power

of a flower,

in the uplifting

of our wings

that once were broken,

wholeness now,

in all

that God has made.

Notations

Our cherry tree is blossoming again, so for us spring is officially here! The vaccines are here too, so we can finally begin to move forward, even if it is slower than we would like.

I thought it would be a good time to mention a few things about my blog. Such as, I normally post Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with some on the weekends. However I’ve been adding a little more here and there simply because.

I once again want to say, all are welcomed here, regardless of your background, race, country of origin etc. except for bullies. No bullies are allowed here!

I don’t approve linking or “links” to my posts. I’ve had terrible technical difficulty with my faith based site, “Walking through Psalms” and I believe it is related to my approving these things in the past.

I don’t do awards anymore, I simply do not have the time to participate. They are fun though.

My wife and I are older, yet very much in love. A lot of shenanigans can take place in blogging. I avoid that as much as I can.

One time years ago a young woman sent me emails to flirt with me, and she included pictures! Fortunately I recognized it immediately for what it was – malicious. She was being malicious.

I could write a lot more today but I’ve decided it can all wait……..except for one thing.

Thank you for reading!

Wishing you peace.
