The Avowal



As swimmers dare
to lie face to the sky
and water bears them,
as hawks rest upon air
and air sustains them,
so would I learn to attain
freefall, and float
into Creator Spirit’s deep embrace,
knowing no effort earns
that all-surrounding grace.

Okay, need prayers for me today please!

Depressed kid of course does not necessarily mean sad kid; it means angry and acting out.

Last night was a bad one.
