Lovely stuff, T. So many great images. I love God pulling apart the stars to make us. And the tiny pomegranate seed toes!

Thank you so much, Rebecca! And I fixed the typo. Sigh. I'm glad you pointed it out. It happens way more than I would like!

Same with all of us, I think.

Thank you, Tania. Again, I am moved to prayer.

“I can’t wait to meet them.”

Ah, awe, Jesus.

In you - yes, IN

you, in your being,

as your core -

there is “no turning back”

from what they-we-I

need or do

to others,

to self

to you.

I am silenced

to heart-kneeled

ah of release

and

wordless awe.

I love the tenderness of this. It reminds me of one of my favorite pictures books my children had, Angel in the Waters, which is told from the point of view of an unborn baby.
