The brick alley

Oct 4/12  Journal excerpt...

   Jesus I haven't been here in so long.  I need to get back to meeting with You just to be with You.  Jesus I almost forget how to slow down in my head I need to rermember I am on borrowed time today... it is a morning of bonus time. Thank You for that. I keep having all these random thoughts in my head ugh.  Perhaps we should meet somewhere? 


   How about in the four way intersection of this curious alley... all the brick walls of the surrounding buildings climb up and up yet in the center of the intersection is a tree and light is streaming down one of the alleys onto it. It is out of place but it isn't. There is a chair near the tree, a plain wooden affair. I know to do nothing else so I approach it... sitting down I draw in a deep breath. My chair and I are facing directly into the sun and it feels so good.  It must be the morning sun for it is coming in low and there is less heat but more beauty. 

Truth. 

Truth has a black and white element to it, abrupt, stark and sometimes harsh or disturbing in it's realization. Truth has earthy tones to it as well... comforting, secure, inviting, all encompassing. I know there are more colors but today this is all I see. I close my eyes and watch the sunlight dance behind my eyelids... and I open my hands in a purposeful way.
