Abandoned cove

I long to return 
To the days
When I didn’t
Have to create
Joy and hope
It was as easy
As breathing
In and out
Repeat

Enigma
Mystery
Unique
I relate
That’s part
Of the allure

I surprise myself every day. Honestly, I wonder to what depths I will go. The armchair traveler, I’ve seen it called. The world teaches me so much. I recall my travels often not for what I’ve seen, but the people I met. The best conversations happen in the airport as I’m being wheeled to the gate. It amazes me what I’m told in a span of minutes.  If I’m willing to listen, I will learn. God is convicting me here. How many times, I wonder where You are.  You’re everywhere. I just don’t pay attention. What is the correlation. In the airport wheelchair patience is necessary.  With God, I desire an answer immediately. If I give Him time, He will allow me to answer my own question. I want an elaborate display, but the answer comes in the abandoned cove.

  2. I feel this way because of everything that is going on in the world. I feel such hopelessness for this earthly life, and now I'm just waiting for Jesus to return and take me home.

  6. Dearest Regine,
    Abandoned cove is what we, tiny humans perceive as such...
    Our earthly journey indeed makes us meet many other human beings and all are put on our path for a reason.
    One day we will unravel the complete mystery!
    Hugs,
    Mariette

  7. I find it difficult to wait for God's answer. He answers
    in His own time, but I want relief much quicker. We have
    to learn the hard way to wait. I understand you completely.

    So many people just want to be heard.

  13. wow, i love this - the abandoned cove. You're a wise woman. You know that its' in the silence we hear most of what we desire to learn and then there is the fun of finding sync winks along the path sometimes in the least expected places. Love your writing.

  18. The answer is in that abandoned cove. And, perhaps, we are not spending enough time listening.

    Have a lovely week.

  19. I find that it is interesting the people that actually talk to me in the airport wheelchair and those who can't make eye contact and look away completely. I love to watch people anyway!

  20. This is so thoughtful. And you're right. We grew up in a world of instant gratification. After all, all the answers are on google, aren't they? Nope. Didn't think so. When it doesn't happen, we get impatient. But it's so hard to wait for answers.
