That day I turned around, and life had flown…
Whilst chasing dreams and children;
Both stumbling and soaring
in the search for holy significance.
Compassionately rescued from despair;
Gifted with a grace that accepts and extends;
Encouraged and loved.
Discovering serenity in silence,
and strength in surrender.
Filled, then poured out.
Heart broken, then mended.
Embracing creative words, life-giving music,
breathtaking beauty, and extraordinary people.
Walking with a limp, but still walking
Daily in God’s presence and power.
Beloved.
Learning to love everybody always.
Not a perfect life, more a passionate pursuit.
Here is what I know for sure:
We can live soul strong.
“Walking with a limp but still walking.” So good.
At almost-84 I can relate to this lovely word.
Lucinda,
I loved the phrase, “Not a perfect life, more a passionate pursuit,” as I remember trying for years to pursue the perfect life with not a hair out of place, making sure my smile was on straight before I’d leave my house.
It got easier when someone gave me the permission to be imperfect. Now if I could just remember this at times.
