Whispering As I Step

Whispering as I Step Out along rolling gentle Irish-lush grassy rises walking came easily in those mid-years I used my step to step in the passing on of my prayer for I could have been kneeling or for that matter even leaping for my soul was so full but I kept walking quietly even wrapping my arms around my waist so I could contain the physical to that particular point I sought where the greatest energy could be found to feel my center of being my living soul and then to let it fly as I opened my voice to whisper again and again “Aaaaah-llleee-llluuuu-eeeee-aaaaa” into the wind that could hold it and carry it on and further from my being to the being of our earth and going on up to heaven where Our Lord does not only hear but too feel my praises on the rippling currents of the wind carrying my soul’s calls “Alleluia” praises from within whispered to his whole all things he created all we all creatures plants seas even the rocks shout with us with me as I send up another “Alleluiaaaaaa” then another another I am shot through with joy the wind surrounds with grace ————————————————————————————————————- (c) sally Young eslinger 1/17/2021 Thanks be to God

So inspirational, Sally. I love how you drew out that word to its long vowel sounds. Great images of you on that walk.
