To hold in my hands
gazing between stars and moon
future far too fast
Dare I to gaze
behind or before my gate
trip over what ifs
Ponder the Future is today’s haiku prompt at Carpe Diem. Do we dare look even a little ahead??
Sayling Away
Learning to live by the indwelling life of Christ.
Gud skaper noko nytt ved sitt Ord og sin Ande, vi kan ta imot det i tru og få oppleve at han gjer sitt verk med oss. Hans skaparkraft verkar konstuktivt i våre liv og skaper noko som er verdifullt for oss. Naturkreftene verkar nedebrytande, i fylgje entropilova, men Gud er Ånd og det som er født av hans Ande består. Jesu frelsesverk er fullbrakt og fullkome. Han er den siste Adam, som er ifrå himmelen og som for oss har vorte ei livgjevande ånd. Han gjev oss den Heilage Ande frå himmelen av berre nåde. Han gjev oss det evige livet.
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
Thanks for following a cowgirl on her crazy life journey.
Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before. - Edgar Allan Poe

The future seems to move fast only when one is pre-occupied and busy. This holds true for many of us, bloggers! Nicely

For me it was the idea of presenting cotrnasts. The news media by its nature is inflammatory, specific and to the point, almost brutal in it’s approach. The very opposite of what being peaceful means. The photo is self explanatory of course. The idea conveyed in the haiku was the very real awareness that each human has about the desire for personal peace as we go about living in a world that is anything but peaceful! A duality of sorts.
