Stand out
And you’re a target
Easy to spot
Easy to bring down
Blend in
Become unnoticeable
Invisibility is a superpower
When used correctly

I hope you feel my thoughts about you,
Crash over you like waves.
I hope you can feel my love,
Even from far away.

In great rooms of heaven
In hallowed halls where Glory resides
In rays of light which beam from His face
From a throne that rules the universe
From lips which uttered stars
And hands that authored mankind
From an imagination that conceived the depth and breadth of the oceans
Which birthed every animal and tree
From Him, came me
And even more joyously unfathomable, I was always part of His plan

Spring this year, has come gently.
It came on the heels of a historical amount of snow for where I live.
It came on the wings of butterfly’s, drinking nectar from flowers.
It came in heavy rains, drenching the earth with much needed water.
It came in warm sunshine.
It came like a silent symphony of photosynthesis and pollination.

I come from fabrics pinned to clothes lines, flapping like white flags, surrendering to the warm evening breeze.
I come from piping hot cups of Earl grey tea, served with milk and sugar.
I come from gentle springs, harsh winters, jovial summers and delicious autumns.
Humble roots, but they are deep

If only destiny came neatly packed
Gift wrapped
And topped with a bow.
But no, destiny is found in
Failed attempts
Unrequited love
And a kind of soldier like endurance
Destiny is baptism by fire
