I have always loved the 98th Psalm, especially verse 8: Let the rivers clap their hands, Let the mountains sing together for joy. I just love to visualize something like that. I love to sit by the creek at my grandmother’s property in the mountains and watch it and listen. It sounds joyful to me, like laughter or singing. Or maybe that is applause! This morning as I sat outside attempting quiet time (the dog now makes that impossible…she rubs up against me, licks me, jumps on me, etc.), a nearly naked tree in the field behind our house clapped its hands. A gentle breeze blew through it, rattling the leaves. It sounded JUST like applause. I so loved that. God spoke to me even in my lack of concentration. Which leads me to my blog title. One of my favorite Shaun Groves songs is “See You.” The chorus is: I can see you looking back at me, trying to get through to the heart of me. And I can see you running after me, trying to break through what’s distracting me. And I can see you. I can see you.
I am going to try to use a song lyric for all of my titles from now on. If possible. My blog title is another Shaun Groves song. Music has ALWAYS been an intricate, defining part of my life. So that’s one way I’m going dig up the old me.
