show and tell

i will call this show and tell

you show me your heart and tell me your life

own the talent, the love, the soul of you

and therefore reflect the truth

of the father.

the way that you live is incredible.  my friends!  

so intricate, each and every one of us.

the way you see

what you see 

as ordinary, normal

astounds me.

you are a gift!

a palpable taste of god's pleasure in my heart, yours; in the people of the world.

laughter at

the zingers

facts

tidbits of life

shared in moments of moments

fill up my heart

and my living room.

and you are wonderful,

all of you.

as is he.

feet

tonight i stand

and walk

with hands on my head

and feet in slow motion.

towards you

your

body and

blood.

i walk and i watch the floor

the feet

surround me

and i follow the set

in front of me.

'melissa, do you hear me?

yes, i am listening.

melissa, you can't see in front of her feet.  you can only see them move, bit by bit.

and this is all i want you to do.  just follow my feet.  you don't have to see where they are going, but you know they are mine.'

and i felt enveloped in safety like i have not known in months.  i cannot see in front of your feet, jesus, but i will follow them to the ends of the earth.  hold me, i feel like a child.
