Monday thoughts

In the sleeplessness
I call out to you
Hoping you hear my plea
As I lay my head
On the pillow
As I try to give it up
The worry, pain and anguish
I haven't been joyful in waiting
More of you
Less of me
Let my heart rejoice
When I seek your face.

Eat pancakes or French toast
Drink orange juice or Limeade
Swing or dance
Walk on the beach or surf
Visit Costa Rica or live in California

Love

Do we ever fully
Be truthful
Honest
A lie always belies
Where reality
resides

Paramount

Give me strength
to be kind
even if it's not deserved
Let me love
As if it's paramount

Look and Listen

I watched Interview with God. I usually watch these things by myself. I came away with some truths. I call on God even if I don't see it. My actions say differently. The answers I seek can come from God alone. It's not an absence of faith, 'but I stopped looking and stopped listening.'  I stopped. The lightbulb went off. I'm so focused on faith. I have faith. Am I using it?  Am I looking?  Am I listening?
