Sing to Me

“Just sing to Me.”

Memory rises up. From twenty years ago. 

I’m traveling in the river of motorcycles and public transport vehicles. Cars and buses. All pressed together in the rush of a mountain city’s traffic. 

Navigating the ebb and flow as I drive. Mentally engaged. But not. 

Thoughts drift far away. Heart sits heavy. 

All around me, the hum and blare of engines revving, horns blowing, peddlers calling.

Temporary place

Temporary place. A familiar part of the faith journey. 

Each stop stirs mute awareness in the back of my mind. And the depths of my soul.

This is not for always. But only for a season. 

Temporary. No matter where we move. Set up house. And make a home.

Yes, Lord

“Yes, Lord.”

Take a deep breath. 

Then step out by faith.

            Walk into unknown waters.

Enter cross-currents of

something new.
