Spontaneous

 


The praise was spontaneous.

The hug was spontaneous.

The shout

The slap

The jump out of the chair

The laughter

The grab

The pull back

The push

The call to the child was spontaneous.

The yell

The scream

The flight of the birds in the back yard

The noise from the flock of hens

The chill

The shudder

The seed pod bursting out its goodness

The seeds flying in the wind

The sour face

The wide eyes

The knee-jerk reaction

The pounce

The bark

The flying fist

The toddler stomp

The awing

The newborn cry

The tears

The smiles

The joy

 

So much spontaneity in life

 

Watch for it.

 

Then join us at Five Minute Friday!

  1. Tears and woofs and flyings fists,
    sudden calm and sudden strife;
    these are things I can't resist,
    the spontaneity of life.
    Did Jesus feel this as He walked
    where He was not too well received,
    when a bloke to whom He had just talked,
    said 'gainst all odds, yeah, he believed?
    I'd like to think God likes surprise
    (like all us peasants, if it's good!)
    and the apple of His eyes
    is when a drongo who just should
    be consigned to the hot place
    ups to accept His gentle grace.

Someday

  Someday this office will be organized instead of a room dedicated to stashing stuff that has no other home. Someday I will paint the bed...
