April 10--Grief Overload

Live the full life of the mind, exhilarated by new ideas, intoxicated by the romance of the unusual.  --Ernest Hemingway

    Today is the one-year anniversary of the transition of my dear brother, Arlie. I miss him every day. 

Lift up my fears and rain down love.

Lift up my tears and rain down joy.

Lift up my blindness and rain down sight.

Lift up my darkness and rain down light.

Lift up my doubt and rain down faith.

Lift up my grief and rain down grace. 

Lift up my challenge and rain down ease. 

Lift up my worries and rain down peace. 

           --Mary Davis

    I'm living all of those "my" things right now. I'm inviting a monsoon of all those good things.
