Current mood: contemplative

To sit on a log, in good company, and watch the water flowing underneath is a lovely thing.

On the Hour After Midnight
Current mood: enthralled

The day has fallen softly out of sight;
my lamp casts pregnant shadows on the floor
that lap up at the subtle edge of night
and settle full and close around my door
while little rills and rivulets of light
snake stolen paths and quickly loose themselves
in venturing on that foreign shore.

A veil hangs from the jamb, all common things
are put away behind it.

Current mood: thankful

I don’t even know to whom I’m writting these things. I guess my potential audience of about 4. I’ve been a bit focused on the negative for a few days now and ignoring all the wonderfull gifts God has given in just the past month. God has provided for all of my physical needs, restored me to mental continence, and blessed me with people who have loved and cared for me in spite of my ridiculous behavior. He has even given me a few oppertunities to serve Him and the strength to do it. All of this good has been from Him; when I am on my own there is no good in me and I am completely incapable of dealing with life. I just got back from the store. I almost had to leave half-way through because I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of soda bottles on the shelves. This is not the behavior of someone with coping skills. But He has given me His strength, and through Him I have been able to keep moving forward, and even have some hope for the future. Praise be to Him; He is the creator and giver of all good things, His justice is tempered with mercy, and He truely gives good gifts to His children.
