Do you imagineHe paced the floor?
Shepherd, show me how to go     O'er the hillside steep,How to gather, how to sow,-     How to feed Thy sheep;I will listen for Thy voice,     Lest my footsteps stray;I will follow and rejoice     All the rugged way.

The palette endless.

Epiphany

There comes a time.

RELEASE

We can allgently fallintoLove's gracious embraceas into a hammockunder a shade–tree canopysurrenderingchaos, caresdarkness or doubtletting Love lift uslighten our loadrock us, comfort us, free us from strifeand fill us with peacetill we know we are lovedand can breathe easilyassuredly.

not my wisdom —others have told it —Daniel, the Psalmist,Jacob, Stephen.

no locked door, dead-end streetsign that says "no way out"

Immortal harmony

The string is tuned correctlyand my guitar develops the tone well.
