I used to often say to heaven, "God is the greatest poet", because of the strange and unique ways God was being revealed to me. It's hard to walk with God and not pick up on this poetic attribute.

Even when the messengers speak, they speak referentially and symbolically - though I don't always understand them. But by doing so, they allow me the freedom to grow, the liberty to think - their approach in dealing with me has been very heuristic.

They don't confine my thinking by telling me what to believe, look for, or consider. They've worked diligently to ensure that they do not set a bad example for me (in the early years, I was very impressionable when it came to them); at the same time they're just being themselves.

Something I've been keeping hidden because I'm not completely sure "why": every night I've sat outside since the end of March, the messengers have flown overhead. No sense of urgency (with all these fires that are burning around us), they have been calmly watching and speaking.

I wait expectantly for God. "All the paths of Yahweh are truth." The Living God who has walked with me has remained faithful, from the very beginning; this was God's pleasure before it was made my own. "All the paths of Yahweh are lovingkindness."

Sometimes I get so excited thinking about the liberty of life and all that we can pursue in this vast place. There are always lessons, always new things to learn; but I'm permitted to live to learn them. The dead cannot learn anything.

I could be brought down to the point of death, even to death, but death would not consume me. Whether afraid or unafraid, God remains faithful and trustworthy (I will never be met with shame).
