July discovers ease

Sleek.
Refined beauty.
Gentle purring.
You sit near the back door
Perched and affixed in your place
And you give
And give.
Taking the hot, ugly into yourself
And exchanging it

Changing it
And returning to us this refreshing different atmosphere.
Thank you, Trane.
Thank you, freon.
Thank you, God.
AC is required in Texas
in July.

Music of Heaven
Plays
Do you hear that song He sings
Inside you?

goodness


How good is He?
Revealing His character,
His nature-- dancing with us,
leading us and choreographing the movements
AS WE whisper step into Him and balance
between the levels of here and His there,
our seats already occupied in the heavenlies
Floodgates opening wide to provide such understanding
Happy is the one who gains understanding
He is the deep happiness lifting up dancing feet
the constant hum in the stillness of time 
and its stretching promise
even its turning remember
with its echoing laughs and split splat of tears
His brilliant LIGHT shining in all directions without shadow without end
How good is He?
This day will show forth His perfect beauty 
as have every one before
as will it always for always be
Lord, knowing your goodness is abundance-- one breath
one heavy hand of love against me
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you
King of All that made a special place inside of time
inside of life
inside of Jesus
"inside your wounds we hide away"
The riches of your gifts overflowing always for always

Cabana Boy




Jesus talked to me
while I was the Cabana Boy this morning
Maybe He was
"How different we are
We are different from the things
Don’t forget
The things need your constant attention
Clean the pool
Clean the filter
Clean the skimmer
Which sucks
EVERYTHING into itself
And can’t breathe
Clean it
Add the chemicals that clean it
Use your net to catch the unwanted pieces

Don’t forget, you are not a thing.
You are cleaned
ONCE
You are clean."
