Earth is so thick with divine possibility that it is a wonder we can walk anywhere without cracking our shins on altars. {taylor}

so much of what Ann writes, in general, resonates

but this...

amen. amen. amen.

I am reading this book and highlighting the heck out of it...

Behold the one beholding you and smiling.  It is precisely because we have such an overactive disapproval gland ourselves that we tend to create God in our own image.  It is truly hard for us to see the truth that disapproval does not seem to be part of God's DNA.  God is just too busy loving us to have any time left for disappointment.

Divine love is incessantly restless until it turns all woundedness into health, all deformity into beauty and all embarrassment into laughter. -Beldon Lane

two favorites

There are those who think that I'm strange

They would box me up, and tell me to change

But you hold me close and softly say

That you wouldn't have me any other way

When people pin me as a clown

You behave as though I'm wearing a crown

When I'm lost I feel so very found

When you anchor me back down

Anchor, Mindy Gledhill

I’m gonna live a crazy dream
Impossible as it may seem
Doesn’t matter what the future brings
I’m gonna live a crazy dream 

I wanna hold the whole wide world
Right here in my open hands
Maybe I’m just a little girl
A little girl with great big plans 

You tell me, “don’t try it”
I’m warning you that I won’t buy it
All failure is fleeting
I trust it always has its meaning

Whole Wide World, Mindy Gledhill

while i remember to love myself

i can't get so self focused

that i forget that

love does
