16-Mar-12: Ephesians 1:7-14
7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace
8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and insight
9 he has made known to us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure that he set forth in Christ,
10 as a plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.
“……..and you say we are now BROTHERS and SISTERS, no matter our fur or skin?”
“So now we go on? Now we climb up again to all those many lights?”
So did all friends, all critters, all folksey-wolkseys quire of Old Crow.
“Oh, thou creeping crawlers and stompy marchers, first take some bites.”
So did Old Crow with Ugly Bird squawk down at friends below.
“Yes, help your brothers, help your sisters, gather and snip berried seeds.”
“What, what mean ye, Old Cawkers? We all furry-skurry so different, ye know!”
“What, what mean ye, High Squawkers? We not kin, we not kin in creeds!”
“Yes, yes, oh tawky-mawky ones! Ye be all kin by sign of Babe,washing of light-bow!”

Behold the light bathed all critters and crawlers and flyers and crawers and squawkers they all was borned a new, brand spanking new all light and bright and new! Shake off the old and bathe in the new ….. and the big one, the old one the ONE looked down and he smiled and wiped away a tear of joy. xxx

Wonderful, dancing sort of comment, willowdot! You are just overflowing with talent to “wave” us forward on our journey here! Bless you!

Always Climbing! and all is washed who want to cleanse… 🙂 xxx

Yes, Sister Sue, we MUST continue to climb, to move ever upward, to travel through the cleansing springs bubbling up all around, if we only look under the sharp rocks and brambles!

Rose! Our skin is is malleable. It grows, grows old, wilts and dies while the souls they try to hold are eternal. You bridge the two beautifully.
Mar 17, 2012 @ 22:28:25
Thank you for such a high compliment, that I “bridge the two beautifully”, between what is temporal and what is eternal! A lot is going on here of which I am just the instrument of fingers on the keyboard, a LOT of the time, you realize!

We folksy wolksy need to listen to critters!
Mar 17, 2012 @ 22:29:20
OH, YES, WE DO, dear Savy! WOW–do we EVER need so very urgently to listen to all the life around us–so very much we humans have to learn!
Mar 18, 2012 @ 02:27:46
Yes! We be kin regardless of creeds! Beautiful. And a lesson so many of us need to learn.
Mar 19, 2012 @ 23:01:03
Oh, Terri–this lesson of us all being “kin” is driving me, driving me so very hard all the time in this fairytale/allegorical journey series, of which your Lenten Journey series is a very important part here!

…like their furry tailed bucky, always protecting, preserving, promoting,
change ways… change path… change heart… for the King!
…with love of brethren the forest is ringing.
🙂 Praise the Lord for your gift, Granbee. As much as I love to read it, I sure can’t write it. What an excellent message here! Thanks, good friend.

“Yes, yes, oh tawky-mawky ones! Ye be all kin by sign of Babe,washing of light-bow!” Another hopeful ending, conveying that we are all one, no matter our origin~ Love it, Rose! 🙂
