Magpie #20
Life's accumulation of all the "maybe somedays" rise up like stone walls of crumbling sins.
They build a barrier between our sense of feeling, and what penetrates and we allow in.
Then complacency seeps in and settles to stagnate underneath,
forming empty places deep where the human eye can never see.
Like birth, we open wider to try to brush the surface and kill the deeper ache we hide.
But only God can break the stone to touch the soul, and fill the cavities inside.

Recently I had a long visit with the dentist. It was the completion of many trips to repair years of neglect.
When the hygienist said to me open wider, at that moment it dawned on me how we have such tunnel vision in life. We spend all our time busy with mundane daily tasks, and neglect the things that matter most. It was like God was saying to me, "open wider, there are many more things to be repaired here".
:-) I am still working on that. :-)
