a morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.

Open my lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence and take not your holy Spirit from me. Give me the joy of your saving help again and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit.
From Psalm 51
the morning prayer in The Book of Common Prayer.
a right spirit and the joy of His saving help. amen.

Will you come with me to the mountains? It will hurt at first, until your feet are hardened. Reality is harsh to the feet of shadows. But will you come?

You’ll need coffee shops and sunsets and road trips. Airplanes and passports and new songs and old songs, but people more than anything else. You will need other people and you will need to be that other person to someone else, a living breathing screaming invitation to believe better things.

My hands at your sides, your hands wrapped closely around a hope for you and I…that’s one more reason why I can’t let you go.
my heart was broken before your heart came boldly through the door in through the storm and for that I’ll give you my life and love restored.
so hold me while we’re here, girl because we may not be next year, but how lovely to grow old with you.

the sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning
it’s time to sing Your song again
whatever may pass, and whatever lies before me
let me be singing when the evening comes

story of my life.
did our grandmothers know when they played as little girls of the strange, sad way we would be bound? did our grandmothers know
when they prayed about the world that their faith and their love would be the ground for us?
my name is you, “we’re alive”
my good morning song today
“I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little” (Phillipians 4:11-12)

Go and find a girl for whom your love is selfless, someone who makes you helpless to change the way you feel…but stay away from girls who always look so pretty, who’s hearts just aren’t fitting for the man in you I see. Would you remember that for me?

You need a lover in the first degree, I need a woman who believes in me.
