Psalm 84:11

For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those whose walk is blameless.

---
*blameless = upright = with integrity

Remembering God's promises
in times of uncertainty,
to change fear to faith.

Writing

I'm so glad
Just to be back in a place
Where I desire to write and feel comfortable with writing online.

Liberty
Flow

I love words a lot more this year.
Words that are chewed and savoured.

Not every place is like this.
There are places where only the meaning behind the choice of words should be smelled.
But the words had to be disposed
Or be prepared
Eat knives

Reflections

Looking at some of my old friends profiles.
Was reminded of days when there was a certain kind depth in our weekly reflections together.
Often, there was a depressive undertone, a sadness, a cynicism

We empathise, sometimes
We build up each other, sometimes
Other times, we do not
Especially, when forgotten
The group is too big isn't it

Regardless
I appreciate the authenticity,
the courage, discipline, integrity
the purity of heart and mind
that gives a certain kind of rest to the soul
the sense of true surrender to God
with the reality of how things are.

No hiding, avoiding
Fear leaves the soul, the heart, restless
While giving an appearance of rest

And then there are friends
Who say they are happy with the superficial
The superficial is enough, they say

Perhaps in my melancholy
It may seem like I have looked past the superficial
As I yearned for more.

It feels like only when I fulfilled the deep need
Then only can I appreciate the superficial
Both are beautiful

Labor
Rest
Both are beautiful
In a certain kind of
Order
Proportion
