Today I am Loving {130a}

When you went to the library for a book that was moderately appealing to you, but ended up walking out with this, the most beautiful book, and it meets you right where you need to be met, in the quiet changing places of your soul.

Today I am Loving {130}

When sleeping straight through until 4 am feels like holy gift, and so, after the roughest of weeks, you get up, and Seek.

Today I am Loving {129b}

When some of your girls have moved to overseas,
but some of your girls have not,
you find ways to communicate
 and spend the evening,
sitting on your phones,
cracking yourselves up...
like a bunch of thirteen-year-olds.

Today I am Loving {129a}

When you walk through the afternoon 
with the friend who has lived long and listens wise,
 see the white tail of the deer bounding up and over,
 the muskrat pulsing through the water,
 the bugs briskly skittering,
the ducks lazy puttering,
and breathe.

Today I am Loving {129}

When you are well aware of the privilege of the parking garage, 
not to mention the view.

Today I am Loving {128a}

When the weird plant continues to surprise you.

Today I am Loving {128}

When sleep just isn't working, and so you get up, 
to take care of some of the things, and nitty-gritty in the worship.
