Also with that I heard about “under the surface”, which makes me contemplate roots and all. When I re-potted my AVs I had to study their roots to make sure they were healthy. Pretty interesting things, roots.
I just wish there was another word in the beginning of that phrase. Almost feels like there was, but maybe I missed it? Something like “look” or “explore” or something to direct what about “under the surface”.
Just heard this, in the past couple of days… “Trust the hunger. Obey the thirst.” And I see that these, ultimately are for Him, and He will satisfy. But those hard words are there…
AGAIN…
Trust and Obey.
Long time ago, or so it seems now, I kept a blog which I called “Sea Change”. This was started in January of 2009, a couple months after my mother’s passing, and it was reflections on life as it was altered for me, in so many ways, with her being gone. I kept it for a year. In the beginning I was very ungrounded, and it seemed like ANYTHING was possible, and like NOTHING really made sense. I lost my “reference” when I lost her and still miss that. She was who I asked…. How do you cook that, how do you clean that, how do you fix that, what kind of flower is that, what kind of tree is that, what is that bird, etc, etc, etc. It made for conversation between us, when in general conversation was so difficult at times. BUT some things I didn’t have to learn and now I am without. It’s like now I don’t have to memorize my most frequently used telephone numbers--- they’re in my cell phone.
Now I’m thinking about “ A New Leaf”. In some ways less significant, or at least not as traumatic or whatever as the other, but, due to the landmark birthday and the other changes underway, I may want to reflect and document. Not just for myself. Maybe such will resonate with others. You know?
