Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


To be the Field

Perhaps it is not the wildflowers

I long to be

But the wide open field

A place for wild to grow or cultivate

I want to be ground soft with rain and minerals

Hard with ice and drought

At times

Covered with flowers which people wonder at

At other times simply a field of grass

Beautiful to some

Those who truly see

But most importantly

That each season is me

Open

Spacious

Allowing life

Even in death
