lately

my universe lately; fresh flowers on the green-clothed table and waiting for the elevator and an inward drive to smile at them all and endless introductions and fresh starts and old friends who hold me close and that smoky hammock and the open spaces in my days and bowls of healthy cereal and the new practice of brewing my own coffee and mornings begun with my face buried in that white sofa chair reveling in the presence of god himself and so much excitement in the laying of plans, schedules, and relationships and so much hope and peace and rest in this sweet jesus who has never punished me at all. the experience of hard and sweet and challenging love and being known and knowing and the belief that all will be well.
