Perspective

In flight, I glance out the window. Plane views offering perspective. Patterns visible from 20,000+ feet. 

As a kid, I begged for a seat by the window. Delighting in views as we gained altitude. 

Watching tiny cars travel small, neat lanes. Between miniature houses all lined up in rows. Rivers curving, shining in the sun through cities and countrysides. 

Fields of various colors appearing so perfectly arranged. In squares and rectangles. 

On clear nights, myriads of lights indicated cities, towns, villages far below. Captivating. Spurring on my imagination.  

Perspective. Flying over the island of Malta.

Fragments

Fragments of divided hearts scatter. In the winds of social media. 

Bits and pieces of pride. Rebellion. Hate. Anger. 

And the very avenues that can draw people together, turn and twist. Break trust. Splinter relationships. 

Slander and gossip crowd in.

Calculated deception. 

Articulated for the very purpose of division and destruction.

Still

In the bare bones
of a waking day, 
I sit.

Still. 

War and rumors of war advancing.
Overtaking.

Still. With the Word and prayer.
