walk river edges
circles ripple and collide
full of skipping stones
This haiku the theme River Stones is dedicated to each of the fantastic people (friends) at Chevrefeuille’s Carpe Diem.
This Haiku is full of symbols: River edges = life, ripple = friendship, skipping stones=haiku
Thanks to Kristjaan Panneman for creating an environment full of warm ripples and skipping stones.
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.

I love skipping stones. And I love a walk by the river (which I did on Thursday). There is something that lends itself to quiet introspection when you’re by a large body of water. Hope you’re having a lovely weekend, Leslie.

Skipping stones is an art that I never quite mastered as a child. Your haiku reminded me of my futile attempts.
