only the bravest
dare to thrive on the edges
fearless free climbers
Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.
Isaiah 43:1b (NKJV)

dressed in luminous colors
stars of the garden
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
Matthew 6:28-29 (NIV)
Do not dwell on bad
or bad will only turn worse
water the flowers.

This is a repost of one of my first summer haikus, written in July 2020.
pink lady slippers
keep watch, as the setting sun
peeks between the clouds
The Koi, far below
need just a little cropping
brand-new perspective
The whole He hath made beautiful in its season;
Ecclesiastes 3:11 (Young’s Literal Translation)
as the clouds gather
the sun dips behind the lake
beaver paradise
A spring sunset over a beaver dam on a lake in the pristine waters of northern Minnesota. It looks as if the sun is drawing all the clouds into a circle to put them on display with it’s evening colors.

such new beginnings
like the leaves of a burr oak
remind us of hope
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit whom he has given us.
Romans 5:5 (NIV)
the flowers of spring
waited for the melting snow
delayed, not denied
The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time. You open your hand and satisfy the desires of every living thing.
Psalm 145:15-16
flowers, rocks, water
make a beautiful trio
like you, me, and God
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there in the midst of them.
Jesus—Matthew 18:20 (NKJV)
past the ping-pong spring
the flowers come back alive
like Christ from the dead
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.”
John 11:25 (NKJV)
