The sound a bell makes

What makes the bell. Is it the outer casing, or is it the clapper?

asking to feel regret during Lent

Seeing myself without a mirror. I can see the cruel person I can become. Instances I react to. Why I feel it is justified is selfish. Am I blind to a better solution. I destroy myself either way. To be Christ like we are called to service. Why does it make me feel hollow, empty. It isn't just the wrong choice which brings regret. I think regret is always available. Regret is the least talked about emotion. Regret is difficult to explore.

oppression

Petrichor, Crepuscular ray.  Terms invented to describe phenomenon that aren't inventions.

vagary

To dream a dream and it seems like life. When I wake it starts to seem impossible. Why does the dream world fill all the places that create doubt when awake.

dust devil, the dance of life

I see dust devils through my day, while driving around this valley. Dirt runners, swimming along in the air. Without water the clay is dust. From dust, to clay, the hand of God created.  Breathed life into clay nostrils. The breath of God is our soul. The dust devil, dirt runners. Continue to mimic the double helix dance of life.

fallen

waterfalls
water falling
falls
falling in the same place
continuously
flowing from a source
falling down
down
descending never climbing
toward the ground
making the earth wet
filling with water
moving constantly lower
descending down
down
lower
after the fall
the water the fall

fortunetly

The sun and clouds made the hills look interesting.  Not just part of the water cycle. Depth and dimension. Light and dark.  Others have seen these views.  Beyond the hills known as the Three Sisters.  Is a carved rock called the Mazestone.  Chiseled stone?  People who hadn't left the stone age living in stick huts hunting with branches weaving baskets.
