Trust
August 31, 2007 
Going home in order to move.
Excited, happy, afraid.
Missing my forest already.
Longing for Asia.
Feeling disoriented, away from the trees.
Waiting for a true home.
Taking care of my family.
Trying to rest in a restless soul.
Knowing how much work is ahead.
Looking around the world and shrinking back.
Reaching out.
Waiting for mercy that never ceases to come.
(New every morning, new every morning.)

That picture is exquisite.
I hope you and your soul find rest soon.
Beautiful image of what trust is. It's the area I'm challenged in the most. Oh that I would jump just like YaYa next time it's asked of me- with open arms and reckless abandon.

I feel encouraged
LOVE that photo!
I just read through your last ten posts (I was on vacation). Thanks for all the pictures and the stories and I hope your move and everything afterwards goes smooth and well. Still exited for you.

I applaud you, I see you shining and I feel filled with joy over your blogs, articles, short stories, novels, wailings, moanings, complaints, waffling, hair-pulling, humor, beautiful photographs, paintings, drawings, poetry, rants, and other acts of creativity, glory, and love. I love you young women because you’re a lot less neurotic than women were one or two generations ago; you’re fighting a good fight and it’s quite amazing to me. [...]
