Who I Am

Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. —Psalm 91:1 NIV I’m loved by God safe under his wings and secure though the world is on its tilted axis often I’m off balance pillows are thoughts not as grounded as puffy clouds I travel over and under arms - memories of past steps, foretelling future fluidity of feeling but gently tethered I read scripture pray, obey, love my fellow man in the Spirit, the best I can, perfect though not in my power the ethereal takes over and changes lives lies exposed, incised; friction sharpens, bonds kinship I touch eyeballs, expose the light the touch of God felt between us - a first-rate hope

Sonds like you can counsel Jean-Paul-Jean (of 'Les Miserables'). He kept singing 'Who am I?' As for me, I just ask my shrink.

I would have to look the song up. Some of those broadway tunes can be haunting. Don’t get shrink-wrapped. Hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving, you and yours. Hugs ~ Kim
