When I am by the sea, all the noise stops
Save the roar and crash of waves and wind
The Voice of God speaks loudest
When I stay and rest and listen
The rocks, the sand, the waters’ force
Bid me stay forever
I must go, but always know
I’ll be there in my heart

“I am certain in my heart that all that I am, I have received from God.” ~ Saint Patrick
Slowed to a crawl upon the road
Engulfed in fog, vision slowed
The way ahead lies in the center
The yellow line giving path and guidance
The mountain ahead is cloaked in white
Her beauty veiled, and all is quiet
Fixing my eyes upon the center
I see a glimpse of majesty and grandeur
The days ahead are foggy, unclear
But keeping my eyes on the center
On the Beginning, the End, the Everything In Between
On the Lord Jesus Christ, the Center
He will keep me safe; He will reveal the grandeur.

I have been playing the piano this morning. Longing, sweet, melancholy melodies that express what is inside me in a way that words can never do. Pouring frustrations out upon the keys. Feeling the feelings as they come.
Healing through the keys, through the instrument, through the music. One note at a time.
Love, Lisa
If you are looking for a listening or playing recommendation this morning, I heartily and unreservedly recommend Benny Andersson, Piano.
