A walk to remember

"i walked home today, the smell of snow melting
and i figure that god lays out thoughts for you to find, along your walk home,
if he has a spare moment.
it's all he can find time to do, drop little crumbs of reminders
for you to trip against,
causing you to remember why you were ever happy."

Mmm, the things you learn when you're walking. I wish I had words as poetic as Rachel here to explain something of what I feel when God is a-whispering through all the background noise of the city - how much joy there is to have something to listen to, and how much frustration that you can't hear it better. I'm not sure I'd accuse God of throwing us the crumbs, but maybe just of giving us portion sizes we can deal with.

I should like to direct your attention to the Nazarene Roundtable, because it is worth far more than a look, it's worth actually gearing your brain up to engage with. And if you're the kind of person whose brain is constantly churning anyway, excellent - here's some top-quality grist for your mental mill. Enjoy.
