this is how my mind feels today….
this is how my mind feels today….
st. louis
a town that never ceases to
cause me to wonder
at it’s splendor.
the rows and rows
of grand old houses
t.s. eliots’ blue house
through the back door.
basking in old friends
ties so deep
that years of separation
are quickly pieced together
over a southern-style dinner.
sunday morning
carrying a heart so full
with a heavenly symphony
my heart glimpsing eternity
for but a brief moment.
the preacher’s words soaked into
my dry heart.
urging the congregation to still
our yearning to run
and stay
in our foxhole.
staying
in the midst of chaos and fear
for God’s plan is not random
his story is fully known and written.
stayed up late last night after study
to watch “restoration home” with the hubby.
gotta love the brits and people willing
to put holes in their pocketbooks.
here is the picture of the day
inside of my nanny bag.
i have to pack it the night before
so i can “sleep” without worrying i forgot something.
computer and camera
bible and a praying life
planner and notebook
sun-tan lotion left from chicago
hat and mittens for the mornings
i might need them.
allergy pills and a kitchen timer
and some old pamphlets and papers.
E has been falling asleep on my lap recently
during her bottle or if we dance.
i tried laying her down in her own bed today
after she had fallen asleep in my arms.
she knew instantly.
woke up.
and screamed at me.
well, i guess we are skipping
the morning nap.
