Word Waterfalls

I like to do this exercise where I write or say words that flow uninhibited in the moment. It is kind of like brainstorming except that there is no real goal, just words. Of course if you pay attention, you may find a theme.

Sometimes my heart speaks of the moment in ways I didn't expect. 

I find this exercise relaxing. It can make me look at the world more deliberately, or hear sounds around me more intently, among other things. For example, last night I did this exercise during my walk and I realized that despite being in the outskirts of a small town, there was a plethora of noise in what I originally thought was a quiet night!
Mechanical noise...
So. Much. Noise.

I have documented some of these exercises in my blog. Poetic words, feelings, insight, peace, direction, revelation, flow, release...

It is a good exercise, and (generally speaking) you don't even break a sweat!

These days, I need release. There is so much tension, darkness, absurdities, lack of common sense, lack of courtesy...just so many things that I seem to be observing that draw all good energy and give only bad vibes. Letting my light shine is becoming more difficult.

Laughter, fun, calm, joy, song, bright light, love, peace, joy...obscured.

As I look to scripture, I find myself craving the presence of Jesus, not just words. Letting the Holy Spirit fill the gap between the Word written and the Word alive is essential, but some days I do not feel it. Like when you read "the joy of the Lord is your strength" and try as you might to bring forth that joy, it just does not manifest...
Perseverance, don't give up doing good, wait upon the Lord, no weapon formed against you shall prevail, run the race, rest in the Lord, when I am weak you are strong, sing to the Lord, exult His Holy name, the joy of the Lord is your strength...perseverance.

Word waterfalls. 
Let the words flow, let the words flow.................. 
let 
the 
Spirit 
of 
the 
Lord 
wash 
over 
you,
 and 
let 
Jesus 
speak 
to 
your 
heart 
and 
mind. 
                                      Let His Word flow...
  
Come, Lord Jesus, come...You are welcome here.

They Did Not Realize

Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus. ~John 21:4
