Two Vignettes

I feel it...
like some sort of inward creep
THICK & SOLID

not pushed by desire
just habit

numbing
deadening
clouding

STOP!

How concise and to the point. I am such a perfectionist. I am so much about the routine, the expected, and the safe. Strangely, our "safe" habits become dangerous. With our heads down, focused on our routines and getting it right, we miss the "numinous-ness"(I like that word)of God. I am reminded of (and thankful for) your post about Unapologetic Visibility. I DO let my fear of hitting the wrong note interfere with my hearing, playing, and enjoying the beautiful music of grace. Thanks for your blog. I look forward to reading it. It's like cappuccino for the soul.
