So good, Chris - that section could be a poem in its own right.
And “Sabbath” is such a concise piece of heartening wisdom. It reminds me a bit of the Wendell Berry statement - & snippet of his poetry - “Be joyful, though you have considered all the facts.”
We were just talking about Sabbath rest in Bible Study last week, so that poem is a very refreshing reminder of the things we discussed, besides being beautifully written. Thank you for sharing both of those pieces.
Two of the best selections I’ve read in a long while!!
I agree Joy!!
Wow, just incredible
Wow, just incredible
Both of these were a gift this morning. Thank you. I’m going to return to that Sabbath poem again and again.
“On the cool blue soil of the sky
some reckless Sower was flinging
handfuls of wispy electric seeds.”
