if I were the only one here
would I be there much longer
than the ruler guides the hand

of the child with pain in his soul

my knees have known new sheen
from the prayers of gravel gliding
as the highway journeys under my kneel

keel less drifting within the wind

but without a sea to bind my eyes
with thinnest edges of horizon
am I the harvester swaggering his scythe

and preparing my robe for the red rains

or but a gypsy with suffocated baskets
shopping the aisles of the blind
with gloves touching their inquire

as they feel shadows and wonder of god

That elusive, mysterious sense of touch,
by His hand...

and sense of faith,

restored.

How strange it must be for the blind to receive sight and see no more shadows!  Some things you touch with this incredible imagery nearly bring tears.  Your words settle on a heart level. My brother spent six years on the street; then he lived with a band of gypsies.  May the only rain you ever prepare for be clear as crystal and gentle on your mind.

ms KL, the old ventura mission suggests such history..as I sit across from it I wonder the ratio of heaven and hell the centuries have sorted there..the gypsies arrive every weekend in their 38 foot land yachts with gold and silver to spend of plastic mementos and dasani's healing..thanks for the eyes lady friend

ms kl...sorry..dasani is just that bottled water that all the tourists buy when they hit town instead of the generic brand on the shelf below for half the price..something that makes me grin..

DS

I think you drink of spirit water (and I don't mean alcohol)  Sometimes you see so clearly into things.  I'm fond of Arrowhead myself.

And I am overly fond of missions. They do require a lot of contemplation. Thanks for the view Stranger.
