Three
of My Favorite Things,
Besides
Jesus, Family and Friends
Hiking:
particularly on an autumn day
when
colors are at their peak—
golden
aspens, purplish-red brush oak,
yellow-orange
cottonwoods, evergreens
beneath
a brilliant blue Colorado sky,
making
me feel a part of creation
specially
designed by a wise Creator.
Traveling:
planning and preparing,
rolling
my clothes into tight bundles,
listening
to books on tape on long rides
or
flying high over ridges and patchwork,
visiting
turquoise water, thick rainforests,
geysers,
towers, boulders, or sandy beaches,
feeling
stretched, eager, excited, and alive.
Writing:
allowing words to flow from my fingertips
frustrating,
scaring, surprising, inspiring me,
giving
me joy or making me laugh, creating hope
that
my words will cause others to feel the same.
The
rhythm of poems, the intricacies of plot,
inspiration
of devotions, learning, remembering,
meeting
interesting characters, connecting with God.
