Letting go

Letting go. 

I hold the simple karahi with both hands. We bought these aluminum wok-like pans in the bazaar during our first months in Pakistan.

They sit, hidden behind other pots in the cabinet. Rarely used lately.

It’s time. 

Letting go.

His Word

“Blessed is the man….” Our class repeats Psalm 1. Rhythmically. As directed by the professor. 

And years later the words return to my mind. With a beat. 

His Word.

Faithful and true.

Moving through

He doesn’t jump to resolve. Or rescue. The psalmist is moving through his pain and fear.

Moving through the murk, into trust.

He knows who God is. 

And cries out to Him.
