an old note to self

It’s crazy sometimes what we go through to just realize what we should have known all along, that God is the point. 

He will bring you to the end of yourself, until you’re broken and worn out, and have no more of your own strength to try to use as a crutch.

Then in your broken state he makes your heart contrite and takes His praise from your lips, and then impresses you with how great his love and mercy and patience are in letting you come that far.

Worthy is the Lamb.

today...

Today I tried my hand at sea

to swell with tides and sink between

the foam and ebbs and all that teem

so gently turned and still careen

to lift me through the ombre breen

and finding shallow depth at last

i kissed the sun and flip turned fast
