I had this thought this morning when Jay and I were driving to work.

I feel like an island.

an Island of a women ... floating in the vast ocean of life, my water is calm, kind of murky, it's slightly overcast -- and through the breezes of this world I hear my friends crying. My friends hurting, dreaming, getting angry, upset, plodding through life, trying.

and I float, unable to gain any direction towards them by wind or rope, I offer up prayers that seem so insignificant, so small, they breathe out, and get caught on a breeze and drift away from me, as I watch them, wanting them to find their rest, in the hearts of their hearers ... but I feel like the only one who can hear them is me

What can I do and what is left -- I keep floating, knowing at least He hears, hoping that he can transfer what I can't, into movement, momentum and release.

ammee... this means so much to me.
i woke up this morning missing you so much. i think it's because God was letting me know how much you love me. how much you've been praying.

i wish you were here, but i cannot wait until august. then, you and i will finally float close enough to hug. for just a moment. :) love you. em.
