The holy place
In the eternal second of a blazing sunrise,in the crisp early morning air,observed from the slopes of the ancient mountain.In the poignant,thoughtful,graceful sinking of the same sun that rose in a blaze of glory,just a second ago,setting on another day that cannot be retrieved,save by highlighted memories.In the ease and grace of an eagle gliding across the heavens,fearlessly,effortlessly,with a freedom one can only dream of.In the appearing of the bluebells in early april,responding to the call ,after enduring the icebox of winter,gracing the earth,comforting all who observe and revere.In the face of a newborn babe.The miracle of birth.The joy and the tragedy of birth.Another soul,another journey,a mysterious plan.In the up stretched arms of the weary soul,blue,yellow,from efforts to help,body betraying her,still reaching,still hoping,still believing.Grace in time of need.In the recalling of words,spoken many years ago,yet still giving comfort."I go to prepare a place for you."Prepared not with hammer and nail,but with the ultimate sacrifice.The place.The holy place.Where God is acknowledged.Where there is no doubt.Time is forgotten.Where God and man are reconciled.

I read and re read, my soul uplifted. I am still hoping, just like the weary one. I know that the present joy lasts for only a while, but I also know there is a place prepared. I love the cadence of the words, the building crescendo of faith and the elements of nature. I am more uplifted than I have been by a thousand sermons. I am full of hope. Like the little bluebells. Sharing this joy and bittersweet hope with my brother is truly a gift from God that I neither deserve nor fully grasp, yet I am thankful all the more. Thank you. I love you.
