The Scent of Water**
and the ticking of clocks
is keeping me awake.
the fragrance drawing
me to the well of the
Word,
the Giver
offering refreshment
for my soul.
The time keepers clicking
through the dark
marking the minutes–
telling me twice,
“take of each one”
“make of each one”
the most that you can.
Drink deep while the
water is here.
**Job 14:7-9, 13 & 14

Now that I'm retired from 25 years of elementary teaching, I am able to spend time in my happy place--at my desk where I read and write as often as I can.
When I'm not at my desk, you can find me in my other happy place--the garden, watering, weeding and worshipping. My husband and I live near Seattle and close enough to my two grown children and grandchildren that I'm able to hug them often. That is my greatest joy.

I love this, Jody. I've been waking up in the middle of the night lately and this speaks to me right now. Some of the sweetest moments shared between fully asleep and fully awake :).
