Shoreline people

I am appreciating words like "faithfulness" and "devotion" more and more. There is something about being steady, being there, showing up, and cultivating a long haul image that excites me.

I think that I have been someone who tends to look to be flashy. Flashy gets noticed, but I feel in my cells a pull toward greater faithfulness as the discipline of transformation.

I came across a great little poem by Robert Frost about devotion and it gives a picture of what I'm feeling...

DEVOTION
"The heart can think of no devotion
Greater than being shore to the ocean -
Holding the curve of one's position,
Counting an endless repetition."

Holding & counting,

I'm golfing tomorrow with my dad and two brother in laws. I'm addicted to caffeine, sd

Working today on the garage sale for tomorrow. Tonight Vic and I are heading to Outback Steakhouse to use some gift certificates from Christmas! I can't believe it took so long to use them! HELP! :) Played golf last night and played poorly. It was my first time out and I was rusty, but I also kept thinking my bad knee would bust open during my swing... I still need to find time to finish my message... It has been a long week of trying to put it together. The well is a bit dry... Garage Sale boy, sd
