Geese

Pointing the way.

Frozen grass on the meadow.

Creek running thin beneath a skin of ice.

Steps crack.

Break, mend, move again.

Geese overhead, calling across the cold. They are intent on a destination I do not know.

Let me trust my steps, Lord. Let the geese point me toward what is new.

– from the mountain


Consider:

Can I trust your guidance, Lord?
