The towers in my cathedral stand tall,
steady, stately as they sway; unaware of any turmoil which clenches, clutches and chokes.
Tall, trim trees adorn with ornaments grand.
Rubies of cardinals, aquamarine jays, amber breasted robins are only a few precious gems.
Gaze upward, for solitude reaches higher than thirty or forty foot pines gathered in open heavens. As one climbs higher, changes take
my solitude to higher valued traits of : love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control waiting for all.
Wind blows about hatred, sadness, war, anxiety, cruelty, evil, harshness, and anxiousness as a treacherous tossed salad unwilling served.
Where does one truly find a sanctuary?
In the world of Creation, and within the heart of a man who is willing to glorified God.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience , kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.”
Galatians 5:22-25

A beautiful meditation. Yes, let us walk in the Spirit, wherever we can find it. (K)

I wish more people were uplifted by the natural world and less obsessed by the one we have created.

I have bad hayfever too but I think it’s mainly flower pollen. I will be full of antihistamines for the next three months!

A beautiful cathedral, Patricia, and I love the use of colour in the lines:
‘Tall, trim trees adorn with ornaments grand.
Rubies of cardinals, aquamarine jays, amber breasted robins are only a few precious gems.’
I felt dizzy as I gazed upward into the pines of my imagination.
