That Light in side....I don't think it is mine!

By the light of your stars, heal me.” 

― Joyce Rupp, The Star in My Heart: Experiencing Sophia, Inner Wisdom

I continue to be amazed

by the wonder of creation

colors all splashed

thrown together if you will

in an amazing wave of splendor unexplained.

I stand back

look at the intricate work of 

the Mystery

stand in awe

of 

the tiny details

my running too fast mind often misses

and

i see it

light from within

and

i wonder

does anyone ever see that light from me

I've worked so hard to hide it.

to build bricks around it,

have I built the fort so wide and deep

that

it can't get out?

I wear my mask

afraid others will laugh or mock or ignore

they protect me, cover the real me, keep me safe or so I tell myself that....

Today.

I wonder what might happen

if 

I did an experiment or two

and

allowed the world

to see

that

light

your LIGHT

shining through me...

would they laugh or mock or ignore

maybe

but

what will happen to me

if 

the light shines through

Healing

wonder

love

life

laughter

the wholeness of shalom?

that's what I'm hopin' for...

gonna try it

for a moment 

just for today...

let that light

that MYSTERIOUS light

Your light

shine on through...

That little light

that 

I pretend is mine

...

it's really not...

it's meant for the world...

now time to shine.

Happy Monday...

blessings..
