A Journey In The Desert

Though the desert looks like there is only vastness, leading to nowhere, with no life and little hope, there is actually life everywhere, filling us with great hope!

 

Emptiness, feeling as a vast desert, nothing behind me and nothing in front of me. Walking to nowhere, a tiny, succulent, plant appears at my feet. Bending down, I touch the soft leaves. Responding to my presence, Dabs of moisture rise forth, the leaves spreading out, becoming a beautiful sight. God is expressing how the baptismal waters of life will be renewed, no matter where I am. There is exhilaration, the spirit and soul being refreshed In front of me, the emptiness has been filled with a hunger for the beginning of a new journey. Marie T. Morrison
