Crossing the Field

Afternoon Walk, December 2020


 



Your beauty blazes
I cross the field for you, and
I'll do it again





* I saw this tree from about a quarter mile away and left the walking trail to get a closer look. It's the brightest tree in the mostly open field. There is a feeling when we want to get closer - to a tree, or to a person and we become willing to cross the distance. I think of those I love and how I am willing to cross the distance time and again to be close. And I think of those who love me and cross the distance as well. A beautiful mystery, to move towards each other in love. God does it so well, always crossing the field towards us and with us.
