It’s a lonely 18 mile stretch that I drive every morning and evening. It is here that we talk.
It is serene. Surrounded by fields, trees and a few houses before entering a city filled with sidewalks, houses and blight. It is quiet and easy to slip into thought and this is when I talk to Him.
Our talks tend to be rather deep. They range from emotional to quizical and cover the gammit of what, why, who and where.
I often find myself asking for clarity and reason. I ask him for guidance, direction and strength. I ask for understanding, growth and patience. I offer thanks too, but not as much as I ask.
My talk with Him last night was powerful and emotional as many are. I don’t always understand but I find peace and at times He sends me signs. That’s probably one of those points where there is only one set of footprints in the sand.
Yeah, I ask for signs….I ask a lot of Him.
I miss those end of day drives. They gave me a chance to wind down and reflect. The morning drives were more work prep.
