Dancing

I spent the evening at the Rawlinson Centre watching my daughter, Grace, as she performed in the dance competition.  This year she was in two group Hip Hop numbers, one a group of five and the other a large line group.  It was fun to see her dancing with so much energy.  Both the numbers rated Gold.  

Last year seems such a long time ago.  This same competition was Grace’s last for the year.  She was three months pregnant and she did well to perform with the high energy levels that type of dance requires.  On Monday, Zakariya will be six months old.  I really should put a recent picture of him up here – I think I will.

Here he is.  Almost as big as his mom!

Small Breaths

 

Psalm 62:9 (NLT)

From the greatest to the lowliest –

All are nothing in his sight.

If you weigh them on the scales,

They are lighter than a puff of air.

 

Small Breaths

 

A puff of air

No more,

Scarcely even a breath,

Our days are nothing.

We are born.

We live,

Hardly even a small breath

Exhaled quickly

For the Divine.

Then we are still.

 

Yet, he esteems

Us; small

Breaths. Gathering us he

Raises a current.

Zephyrs trusted

To carry

Gossamer seeds. Moving them

To good soil;

O Breath of God

Your breath in us.
