the road goes ever on and on

At last the day is here, the one I've spent countless time mulling over, wondering what lies on the other side of, the day of departure. It still seems a bit unreal. God has been faithful beyond my expectations-- financially, with the support of people and faith communities that will be praying for me, and with moments of peace, beauty, fellowship, and communion that have filled my spirit. These last few days hiking along the Patapsco, among trees soaked in gold, Isaiah 55 has been pressed on my heart.

"For you shall go out in joy and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and the hills before you
shall break forth into singing,
and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress;
instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle;
and it shall make a name for the LORD,
an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off."

isn´t God the most deep poet that ever existed?
And He even shares His autor rights with people like us, His prophets - okay, not so much like us, holier ones, though, made of flesh and bones like us.
Can you picture that as if you were in a esplendorous magic scene that no walt disney graphic designer could ever make like???
I read these worlds and my mind was astonished.
So, I bet I don't need to wish you a have nice trip. God already did that in a way I could never do better, so I will let allow His words speak for me over and over again.
Knowing you is teaching me to love sparkness and sweetness even more... we talk, hopefully, soon!

sorry, not most deep, but deepest, I was excited, and I tried to correct the mistakes, erased twice my comments, but though it was not enough for now is enough hehe.
