Love helps the reflections |pt 6| the eaglet takes wing

December 4, 2012

source I was an eaglet from the start… one that’s never really taken wing. Eaglets don’t learn to soar on their own.

source Helping others… besides being absolutely lost, and tossing on a rocky sea… it’s the thing that has engrossed and dominated my life for months now.

This is part four of Sara’s funeral service, part one is here, two is here, three here. And as I halt […]

Love shows up

October 21, 2012

My brain is a little broken. My dance with other reality has cost me all my money, too much time, too much emotion, taken my focus off of close and personal connection with God – and others. It has been a siren I tried to escape early, but couldn’t. Sirens wreck havoc. During those 7 days […]
