Moment Thief

"For in every adult there dwells the child that was, and in every child there lies the adult that will be."

~John Connolly, The Book of Lost Things

A girl who knows wide open spaces

 

yet is gripped by the small details.

Who can't escape the beauty she sees again and again.

A dirt lover,

A moment thief.

She sees the world in color

But always appreciates the lack of 

while knowing its beauty still.

She undercovers what she can

While trying to live a creative life

And blooming where she's planted.

Thanks Mom and Dad for the wide open spaces!

Appreciating the beauty from the past and the present on this artist holiday,

Potter and the Clay

And yet, O Lord, you are our Father.

We are the clay, and you are the potter.

We all are formed by your hand.

~Isaiah 64:8

I am a lump of clay.

Still being pressed and formed.

Stretched and rounded in this life.

My rough edges continuously made smooth.

Focus, care and a gentle touch.

Serene both inside and out.

As I pray tonight...

I ask for more work on this lump of clay.
