Hi world, it's been forever since I've written and there's a part of myself...deep down that misses it. However, life has been super busy of late. So this won't truly be a blog but I was reading in a book...one of my other neglected hobbies of late and came across this line. The line resonated within...and I had to record it somewhere. It was beautiful and poignant ---perfect, really.
"...as I sat there, half-alone in the darkness of my closed eyes."
What a perfect description of a moment...how even in the middle of a crowd, or a party, or even just a quiet evening with a loved one...there there are moments where you are alone. And it isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it is a state of being, sometimes peaceful, sometimes poignant in a way you couldn't describe yet you feel deeply. It makes sense to you and no one else...and it can be enough. Just that breathe of time, that moment of darkness where the world disappears in a blink. And, then there are times when you are profoundly grateful to raise the lids of your eyes and realize that you aren't alone.
So it depends on the moment, and on a host of circumstances that lead you to that moment, with the future stretching before you, unplanned, unfated...possibilities dance like dust motes in the air on a sunny day...but no matter what comes next you have that simple reality encompassing you. Then the truth that transcends both realities of eyes open or eyes closed. This transcendental truth is the one home I am most thankful for of all.
Deuteronomy 31:6,8
"Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you."
"The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."
