Holy Stillness
Waiting, waiting, we wait
in lengthened nights and
chilled soil and cloistered suns

in the depths—we hear
“Wait… Wait… Be still…”
and “Coming—
I did, I am, I will.”

Watching For God In Season and Out

During these summer months, this simple, curving…
Be Still and Know

The Sound of Silence
I took this photo of a sign erected at a viewpoint in Rocky Mountain National Park. I have visited the park during all seasons. In spring and summer the melodies of birds, squirrels, chipmunks, etc. rise and fall on the air. In late summer and early fall, elk calls bugle through the park. Then, on…
With Palm Branches Waving
Jerusalem, the City of Peace where there was no peace, the City of the King that had no true king.
But as Jesus and his disciples—accompanied by a large crowd—made their way to the city for Passover, something happened.
