solitude
Then stirs the feeling infinite, so felt
In solitude, when we are least alone.

winter waterfall
Lord, I crawled across the barrenness to you with my empty cup….
If only I had known you better, I’d have come running with a bucket.

Advent
Through the heart of tender mercy and loving-kindness of our God,
a Light from on high will dawn upon us and visit us,
To shine upon and give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,
to direct and guide our feet in a straight line into the way of peace.
~ Luke 1:78-79 Amplified
gravity
Invisible, undeniable, foundational, constant, powerful,
and capable of creating sublime beauty.
waves
Watching the waves
is like taking the ocean’s pulse.
sunrise brushstroke
It was an early morning well rewarded:
first waiting in the dark,
next getting rained on periodically,
then being treated to this living canvas of light, shadow, shifting forms, colour,
and finally watching the Artist’s vivid brushstroke spread across the sky.
longing
It was when I was happiest that I longed most…
The sweetest thing in all my life has been the longing…
to find the place where all the beauty came from.”
~ C.S. Lewis, “Till We Have Faces”
wave poetry
Mesmerized by whispers of the waves
reciting a salty-sweet poem
each line similar, yet unique
full of soothing, and yearning, and exquisite grace.
~ Shelly
the breakwater
Like last week’s image, here’s another tribute to The Breakwater.
She’s my favourite walk – a .75km sea wall
offering a unique experience of the ocean and it’s wildlife.
This Victoria landmark remains,
but current renovations will change the way she looks forever.
aflame
Sinking sun sets grove of trees aflame,
sending sparks dancing skyward,
to become stars burning steady and resilient.
~ Shelly
