Solace March 6, 2008

After many attempts at blogging this week and many abandoned paragraphs, I decided I would stop attempting to write a neat summary of my days and instead just splurge about the way I’ve found God in them. Hope that’s ok!!

Healer of my soul

In place of pain, your balm.

Breathe through the heat of my uncertainty,

The damp of searing loss.

Unconditional

Your touch,

You know me well –

I do not need to speak.

You whisper into changing circumstances

A welcome Constancy.

Your unchanging, all I can rely upon.

Battle sounds rage fierce today.

The clamour of the hours, a deafening cry.

Even in the solitude of night,

It’s surely still too loud for Still Small Voice?

Stepping beneath the crushing weight of all

The things I can’t begin to understand,

You touch the ragged edges of my soul

Beginning to impart the soothing touch of peace.

In stillness,

You know me

And you are enough.

And though these dark horizons still remain,

Though every morning sun is hid away.

You speak with clarity that pierces gloom.

And so we journey on.
