My wakeful heart
Is a Garden of Desires
Budding, bursting, blooming
I crave Your tender hands
The taming and the tending
The binding of bending tendrils
To the trellis of Your love
I hunger for Your quick keen blade
To prune the places found unfruitful
And for Your jealous watching
To wait and win the fruit.

A close-up and imperfect look at everyday life as orchestrated by a holy, humorous, and hope-full God.

- I'm taking up writing again for the summer and as of August 2012 will be posting delightful tidbits from my upcoming study abroad in Kyrgyzstan with the School for Russian and Asian Studies.
Perhaps a picture is worth a thousand words, but I hope you'll still take time to let a thousand words paint a picture.

That's beautiful. I could use The Garden as a meditation. Wonderful images to ponder. And dare I say,pray?
Yep, well, "something good" did come, didn't it?
And in your case, I don't think writing is a "luxury". It is time consuming, possibly difficult and costly; but perhaps for you writing is something to concentrate on, rather than being a luxury. And yes, my guess would be that the fallow times of not doing anything directly creative are probably needed too.
