Speechless

Deathly pale in light of the vision. No strength. 

Alone and overwhelmed to the point of exhaustion, Daniel drops. Face to the ground. 

Powerless. Speechless. Unable to breathe.

And the Lord responds to His servant. With tenderness and strength.

Uncertainty

Travel plans so carefully made. Flights scheduled and booked.

Anticipating long-delayed reunions. After many covid19 restrictions. Requirements. Roadblocks.

Then, sudden uncertainty. Again. 

Everything is up in the air. 

Like the autumn leaves outside my window. Scattering in the wind. Landing who knows where.

Maps

Maps torn at the creases. Unfolded and refolded over the years. Attempts to plot journeys. 

Travels over land. Across the sea.

The flat paper world of continents and countries. Oceans and rivers. Cities. Mountains. Plains. Deserts.

Light-weight and world-at-a-glance. 

Foldable. Disposable. 

Unlike real-life-living in the marks on the map.
