…the moon…

moon clouds

Walking to a meeting last night- where I live, one of the great things is that you can walk to a lot of stuff; this helps to keep me earthed (the alternative; do lots of last minute things, dash in the car…I am so important…pile out and into the meeting)…. I am; to quote some recent postings, able to go no faster than 3-4mph. This means I think more, I’m more aware of what I’m feeling and less able to hide what I’m feeling..at least that is the theory.

Last night I saw the moon. Or rather I didn’t- I saw a smear of light through clouds. And I’m thinking ‘This is how it often is for me; I see glimpses, flashes, but mostly just a lot of clouds with the dim awareness of light behind.’

That relaxed me; 3 nights with meetings each night is no good for inspiration- I just want to curl up at home with a good glass of red. That reassured me as often life is like that; ordinary, cloudy Wednesday November nights with not much going on and maybe just a sense of the moon through a very cloudy sky……….really think it is a heresy to equate sprituality/God solely with the highs. Most days it is carrying on with a vague sense of the light somewhere…

…but carrying on nonetheless and maybe at the end of the day there will be a good glass of red.

    You words here remind me of an old song that Janet Paschal once sang. In the second verse, she observes: “And I’ve learned the wisdom I have gained comes not from battles won, nor from basking in the glory of a race that seems well run; No; it’s trudging through the dry, deserted places I have been that let’s me know, without a doubt, if You changed now to then….I’d choose You again, leave it all behind, Pick up Your cross and give you mine; Surrender my heart and wish there were more for me to offer this time, Lord. As sure as a road must have a bend, or a lonely heart a friend, I’m more certain ow than then…I’d choose you again”.

    I never liked that one line about exchanging my cross for His, as it seems mis-spoken; but the lyrics otherwise connect with the journey as I have found it to be….
