    Mental Exercise

    It’s a quiet Monday. A little too quiet. I prefer the busy, whirling activity of work, but I don’t feel well, so here I am.

    Wonder

    I’ve seen the wonder of a sunrise, Heard the waves crash on the shore, Felt the rumble from the thunder, And longed to see Your face once more.

    Senses

    Raindrops on the windows and thunder rolls in waves, Today there is a blend of heat, energy, and liquid cool. I am a reflection of the nature around me. The thirsty ground is soaking in the heaven-sent water. My soul is finding balance in the Maker of seen and unseen. In the solace of today, without the interruptions, I know…
