Twallk 3 - Now Iwallk in the Light

* * * * * * *Twallk In* * * * * * *

Beautiful day today.  The air is clear and warm, the breeze is light and refreshing.  I can smell the sea.  Sunlight dances off everything, like a shimmering extension from the Light of heaven.  In the Nitrogen Blue sky, gulls play.  In the green grass, pigeons frolic.  In the pond the baby ducks of May have turned into proud young drakes and hens of a promising future.  The world hovers...at peace.  Even a short peace is long enough...for hope to reassert itself.  Soon will come the autumn.  Grass is already yellowing, leaves are fading out of their green cloth and tie-dying themselves for the festivity of flight...and fall.  Truly a grand time is coming to the world!

A birthday prayer:  May we continue to look Up.  May the waters of life continue to quench our thirst.  I have been into the dark places of the earth.  I have hobbled through the tunnels of doubt.  I have wrestled with the uncertainties of myself.  I have thrown open the window that kept the air stale and have found the promise of spiritual liberty.  My soul is ready, fortified, full of thankful praise for the greater adventure I am crossing the threshold into.

I thank my Father, my Maker, my Leader...my Hero.  Now, as I enter the final act, I can muster the courage to follow Him anywhere He will ask me to go, do anything He asks me to do, be anyone He asks me to be.  My Lord is behind me, in front of me...and IN me.  Let my strength and experience flow from eyes and lips.  Let my voice continue without breaking.  Let my sadness and insecurity be washed away with the next rainstorm.  I surrender to the Light.  The future is HERE, NOW.  My hour is tolling.  I will rise beyond my limitations... for You.  For You, I will carry the Light until I am absorbed into it.  LOVE can still turn this lowly, undeserving man from his own self hatred and desire to die, into a reflector of peace and bringer of harmony as long as he holds his sWord close. 

Thank you, Father.  I will not let you down.
