"to forget and to remember"

where do i go to forget and to remember?

i go outside, i go to nature,

i go to find my place again

in creation, these grains of sand in Abba's Hand.

in the garden of creation,

i forget the ways of this world

and remember the ways of my Creator

i forget man-made time

and i remember the rhythms of creation,

the cycle of life,

the flow of seed-time-harvest

i forget rush and hurry,

i remember still and steady

i forget now or never,

i remember wait and due time

i forget prove and perform,

i remember play and peace

i forget perfection and pride,

i remember humility and honor

i forget pressure and productivity,

i remember pace and grace

i forget sorrow and heaviness,

i remember joy and lightheartedness

in nature...

i forget to hold my head down,

i remember to hold my head high

to look up to the sky

for nature is the place of my "un-doing"

the place of my "un-winding"

the place of my "un-learning"

the place where i can feel

Abba's kiss upon my face

as the sun/Son finds me

and surrounds me with His embrace

and the warmth of heaven sets me free

free to just be,

to just be me,

little lee, undone

my heart won, by the only begotten Son

the only One whose love causes me...

to forget and to remember
