The Debt Is Settled In My Mind
Holding on to yesterday’s pain, heartache, anger,
resentment, bruises and negative sentiments is like holding on to smoke. Yesterday is gone forever, Dear World! None of us can turn back time. I hear people talk about the “good ole
days.” What good ole days, I ask? This is today, this moment of seeing,
experiencing, creating and breathing.
All I have is what is in front of me at this precious moment.
I’m settling the debt that's at the root source of my
Blues. As I sojourn over ancient trails,
I’m listening to the echo’s on the wind.
I soak in the wonder of the Big Sky over North Eastern North
Carolina. We have an amazing state with
a wide range of diversity and life styles.
Sad that those of us calling this land home are so fragmented and
marginalized. Oh well! Such is the way of the world. I’m sticking with Jesus. At this place in my life, I don’t have
anything or anybody but Jesus. Jesus is
enough for me. Being a maker of things
with creative hands requires joy, peace and contentment with no drama.
People drama tears my nerves out the
frame! Literally! One glimpse of drama and I’m spitting on the
ground, walking away and not looking back.
We part in peace and sojourn on our own Trail of Tears, separated from
each other. All of us are never meant to
get along all of the time. But, war is
not the answer. War just makes more war
but no problem gets solved. So, what do
I want to make today? Peace that comes
from the anointing of the Holy Spirit in the sacred name of Jesus through Lord
God Almighty. Peace that comes from my
being content with and confident in walking out the Purpose of my Earth Walk to
be a maker of unique art objects to enlighten an environment.
