My first time in the City

Dearest Reader... I know there has been a dreadful lull in my posting  as of late but we have now circled back to the beginning.  My introduction to the city of meeting.  I had no inkling of just how significant this place and this way of meeting would become to me and even now it regularly takes me beyond what I can imagine. 
   
Journal excerpt 2008

Hey Jesus do You want to meet? 
Sure. 
Where? 
Let's walk.
Okay. 
   We are walking down a city alley. For whatever reason it is empty and it is evening. The light plays on the bricks and walls putting on colors that belong to the light. It is a desolate place ... there is nothing, not even garbage or objects except for the walls and fire escapes. We continue to walk and come to a street where we turn and walk into the setting sun.  I feel it's last rays of warmth and as I close my eyes I see the color flood under my eyelids. I am holding Your hand. 
   I open my eyes and we sit on the side of the road on a curb. Quiet surrounds us but there is a peace that is so thick I cannot help but feel it. I look at You and You look into my eyes and smile. I want to ask why here, but I cannot for some reason... I guess it's because You chose it and You'll tell me. I lean on Your arm and shoulder as we watch the sky dance with color that is changing before our eyes. All of a sudden I dread the actual setting of the sun.  Where will warmth come from?  Wow what a random thought I'm sorry. It is dark now... all of a sudden. Am I cold? No. There is a warm mugginess to the night. Street lights flicker on all down the streets as we sit here on a corner that offers up a road out of town into the deepening night.  To my right and left are streets that continue on in town... There is a Coca Cola neon sign in the window of a store down there. Hmmm. Where will we go? Are we to stay or leave? We continue to sit.
  ... I am going to take this image with me please help me see more ... I love You Jesus ... I am glad to be with You alone. To be alone with You. Hmmmm.  You are my life, You are all I want and need. I give You myself today my heart, my passion, my limited understanding that hungers for understanding and revelation from You. My all ... it is Yours. I will be satisfied in You.
