small observances

It is amazing how everything changes when you are awake.
What I mean to say is how its all sharper,
colours,
sounds,
laughter and the like.

I think of how being in relationship with Jesus is like being awake.
Life - is life, it isn't something meaningless to move on from,
it is not something to shuffle off, to push past,
but rather something to joyfully take part in,
like an elaborate feast to be tasted and treasured.

Things become sharper as He makes my heart softer,
there is still pain,
still brokenness,
but somehow there is joy,
there is laughter,
there is rest.

I have an enormously aggravating pain my back...
I shall go deal with that.
