Teachable Spirit

I've dreamed of this place

away from my present landscape...

where I'd be enveloped

by the "loud quietness" of an
undisturbed canvas of grace.

The movement of the Lake
carries an energy & overflows 
with lessons.
I've dreamed of this place

and arrive with a teachable spirit. 

Speak, Lord,  for your daughter is listening
and silent reverence is His offering.  

The turning, rising and flowing

of the lake encouraging me to exhale. 

To be still and release the many

knots in my spirit. 

The water gently moves in time 
with the rhythm of  my heartbeat.

And I hear a whisper from God ... 
Boundless Possibilities are for the taking. 

When the water is still,
the awesomeness of my view is magnified.
Vibrant colors, trees that line the lake,
sky above and life below the water
are reflected like a mirror on the surface - 
multiplying the beauty before me.

I inhale deeply and hear God whisper...
Receive this benediction of peace.

The lake and its water continue to offer lessons to my thirsting soul.

- Patience in all things.

- Humility vs Pride.

- Mindfulness of triggers that do not Magnify my Life.

- Grasping will not allow me to receive with openness.

And the greatest gift from the lakes' transforming water 

is to bring home that which has been my healing.   

       Living each lesson learned - 

       not as if borrowed - but mine for the taking.

Speak, Lord,  for your daughter is listening.
