Kathy Bafetti: Rest In Peace

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean, an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then someone at my sides says “There, she is gone!”  

Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large of mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined point. 

Her diminished size is in me, not in her.  And just at the moment when someone at my side says “There, she is gone!” there are others eyes watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: “Here she comes! “

Saturday

Glorify the Lord, 

O nights and days,

O shining light and enfolding dark, praise him 

and highly exalt him for ever. 

From The Benedicte: A Song of Creation 

Somehow it's gotten to be the last Friday before Holy Week

If the root is holy, then the branches also are holy. Romans 11:16

My sheep hear my voice.  I know them and they follow me.  John 10: 27

  

  

  like a child     upon it’s    

         mother’s      breast, 

 my soul is quieted within me. Psalm 131:3
