Born

Little one. Growing in the dark confines of the womb. 

Moving, turning, kicking, squirming. 

And, one day, fighting the push through the birth canal. 

Born into a bright new world.

God speaks

We walk. Blue-skied afternoon. Fallen leaves swirling on the path. Picked up and scattered by the wind. 

An after-Thanksgiving-dinner tradition, this walk takes us through shade and cold. To places in the sun. Beside the lake. Where water moves, reflecting rays.

The after-Thanksgiving-dinner walk through the neighborhood.

Conversations and laughter accompany this walk. As we breathe cool air in the shifting light.  

The evidence of God’s creation and Presence is all around us on that restful stroll through the neighborhood. And I think about the ways God speaks. Breathes. And moves.
