My Mau were both asleep, and I was thinking about the time they were roaming through their sandy country of origin, and how much had changed for them in a relatively short period of time. It got me musing as happens so often.
A found stick of driftwood creates a heart ❤️ in the washed clean slate of sand. I inscribed our initials of a love that I walked with on the sand. A love that continues though she is gone washed by the current 🌊 waves and I carry her to this day in my heart that tides the time ebbing to one day be with her who said “ Trust in the universe. When it’s time to go, God will take you “ natural forces wash away footprints but the heart beat of the universe continues for eternity. Two new stars are born.
So lovely ❤️. I enjoy historical buildings, the use of solid, natural materials and beautiful details. I love the footprints theme and tying it all together with the poem was a lovely touch; God restoring us to our feet when we’re rundown . Thanks, Joyce.
When I went through my dark night of the soul and spiralled into a spirit of nihilism and atheistic thinking, I felt like God had abandoned me. Then I had the revelation, "God did not abandon you, you abandoned God", that really woke me up. Decided I should probably get back to some form of belief, even if it was as simple as believing in something rather than nothing. I'll bet on 'something' every day 😉
Even though we may not be aware of His presence (remember Jesus at the cross “My Father, why hast Thou forsaken me?”), it doesn’t mean He is not there. Your revelation may well have been His wake-up call. Steop by step it will return. Even if you did turn away from Him, He is still there for you, in the busy moments of the morning or the quiet of the night. He knows your heart 🙏💙

As always, your comments are of such poetical nature that they are poems in their own right.
Thank you so much, Richard 💙🙏💫🌊
Glad you included photo of beach. Joy is within reach to hear the waves in the whorls of sea shells.
Absolutely. For me pure joy 🌊💙

You’re welcome!
Our concert song, “Carry On,” is a telling of the Footprints story: https://youtu.be/E2hCHLGm0sc?si=XOrL3KIrCBU6qCQE
