It is good that God does not expect us to understand each nuance of our journey with Him; if he did, I'd be lost. I am in a spiritual "holding dock" right now, moving neither forward nor backward, just waiting to see what God will do next. Perhaps it is like the safe, secure darkness of a womb, with birth pending but unseen. I like that analogy; it's very positive.It may be my overly busy schedule that is keeping me from "feeling" God as I normally do. Or perhaps it is the calm after a great, stressful storm, and I am allowed to float free on my raft without wind, at least for a time. I am not in the doldrums exactly (pictured at left), but I'm not moving forward either.
But this will pass. Perhaps I just need a spot of rest. For now I will fall back on His wings and let Him fly. I'll relax like a feather in the wind.

Glad to see you writing again.
I check your blog each day,
and I pray for you when I do.
My spiritual writing has been "on hold" as well, so I don't mean to throw stones.
We all need a rest sometimes. Jesus "went a little away" from his friends lots of times. Maybe that was so they could digest, listen to their own hearts, and grow slowly and silently.
Blessings, Rick
Thanks, Rick - your prayers mean a lot. I check your blog, too, and look forward to when you're in the mood for writing again. Interestingly, after I wrote this post, I read something in "The Sacrament of the Present Moment" about being adrift with God that resonates with what I wrote. I'll have to post about that!
