After the storm, after the dark clouds part and the winds die down, and the heavens opens up, it is clear that God is present; it is when we are in the midst of it that we are challenged to not forget all along, He held us.

Colliding Light
https://youtu.be/QoEpipVAZUc This song came up on my playlist as I was beginning my yard work after my first day back to my classroom when this small wildflower caught my eye.

Undetected
I escape undetected slip past the sea-oat rimmed fence, cross the bridge to the great blue expanse, leave behind the land until toes get lifted from underwater sand, and I am in the unstable hand, at the whim of my moody but trusted friend to take me fathoms deep into the abyss … Continue reading Undetected

Emerald, snow-crested aquamountains rise up with power, teasing with fleeting chances to become safely devoured.
