They suggest in the psalm that I am a mere breath. Everyone is.
Are we God’s breath?
I love that.

I am not making sense of today’s allegory in Ezekiel. What does resonate for me is the use of nature—eagles, vines, fertile soil—to explain God to the agrarian Israelites. Long before the sacred texts were written and readily available, we clamored for stories shared around the campfire. We also learned about Creator through the natural world. We still do.
Readings
Tue – Mar 22, Ezekiel 17:1-10 Romans 2:12-16 Psalm 39
I was pooped last night. Even skipped yoga this morning. Letting myself rest in God’s arms, spoon with Jesus, dance with the Holy Spirit. You know the metaphors. After a birthday bash most days last week, rest is best (with periodic dancing).
This well-dressed table greeted me when I finally arrived downstairs. My beautiful sister-in-law gifted me the flowers. And Mom finished her photo puzzle, a present from my brilliant sister.
Now I remember, spring has sprung. Resurrection is on its way.
Mon – Mar 21, Jeremiah 11:1-17 Romans 2:1-11 Psalm 39
Today is my sister-in-law CrisMarie’s birthday and our 3rd celebration this week. We get to be with her in person on the very day this year. Hooray; so much for Lent! CrisMarie is known for giant, felt hugs. Maskless and no holding back today, finally. I can’t wait.
We started with Carolina’s 30th and end the week with beautiful CrisMarie’s 50-something-th.
Stay tuned! Next week is Rob’s.

Sat – Mar 19 Isaiah 5:1-7 Luke 6:43-45 Psalm 63:1-8
I wish I could execute those Ignatian steps in one sitting while conscious. I do acknowledge God when I land in bed, “Here I am.” And as I fall asleep, nine times out of ten, I’m surveying my day with emphasis on the feelings that had come and that surface again. When I wake in the watches of the night, I meditate, starting wherever I left off, usually falling back asleep. I finish reviewing in the morning, often with candles lit, journaling and discerning lessons and direction…on the clearer days and nights, that is.
