I want to walk through my garden barefooted without fear of stray stones to know the buried paths where the nettle stings lies waiting, the predator thorn, soothed only by the juice of dog weed. I wish for my soles to thread the grass hover gently as this cool summer breeze. No foot prints nor laboured path to be left in my wake. I want to walk through my garden naked, to be accepted as un-rooted branch dancing upon her lush privacy, to flow through the tangled undergrowth without rippling her soil or disturbing a blade of grass, everything untouched by my human clumsiness. I am the rivers dew flow, the kiss of subtle motion the serene breath of constant growth. I want to walk through my garden, extend my hands to the skies, and bare fruit upon my fingers, for birds to rest in the abandoned aerie's of song bird wisdom, I want be welcomed not as the tolerated trespasser but the prodigal son, to be droplet in its sea of electric current.

Brian; This is magical! Almost surreal and very enchanting! Wonderful! Ellie Summers haunting melody that awakens the butterflies, calling them to join the dance in their silent song of praise to God. eL |

This is incredibly lovely Brian ... mystical and so descriptive! It just gently sings a peaceful song throughout these words. I'm with Ellie ... enchanting indeed! Best wishes, /Kit |

Wow, I read this twice. Love the wording used to express how deeply you want to know and appreciate all God offers in the garden. You don't want to disturb a thing, but be welcomed to experience the totality of it all. Wonderful. |

What thoughts here! They run deep! Oh to be like Jesus and not so much as break a bruised reed (which are very fragile). You've set my mind on a journey! This is great!!! |
