A Short Salvation Story

Posted on May 31, 2013 by eteal

Who are YOU!

Scared, she turned away.

wondering, she turned to look…

Curious, she discovered love.

THE ANTIDOTE FOR FEAR IS CURIOSITY.

thus, curiosity did not kill the cat, but saved her.

I hate to bug you…

Posted on May 29, 2013 by eteal

While driving down the highway

I notice a bug

on my windshield.

On the inside.

What do you mean inside?

I am outside my experience!

Oh lady,

I hate to bug you, but …..

I would rather fly away home than ride.

Loud and lovable

Posted on May 28, 2013 by eteal

You say you are trying to listen to God,

but you can’t hear because of all the noise?

just

LISTEN

instead.

What do you hear?

Mystic Meadow

Posted on May 26, 2013 by eteal

Deep in the back of the meadow is a mysterious beast –

who steals my heart

as surely as i have stolen his.

Calico Crossings

Posted on May 25, 2013 by eteal

Superstitions swirl – they will tell you your luck.

Is it black or white?

but either way, your path has been crossed.

Sillies, all paths are crossed and jack knife and swirl!

Did you think you walk alone in this world?

We bring each other blessings and luck each day –

So walk your walk,

and talk your talk.

The path will be under each step you take.

Shih Who?

Posted on May 24, 2013 by eteal

I am not a dust bin

nor did I climb in or out of one –

so please do not call me such a name.

Cleaned up,

I can cuddle up –

I’m really quite tame.

Wanna go for a walk with me?
