Lift up your eyes


 Revelation 1:8


“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.


The Alpha and the Omega

The beginning and the end 

So hard to dwell on

when we’re trying to contend with the middle

and what it takes to flourish now

The unchangeables and non- negotiables 

are easy to lose sight of in the midst of simply living

With exhortations all around to be in the moment

the meta narrative becomes obscured, greyed-out

by the tasks of carpe diem 

Yet the Alpha and the Omega continues to weave colours and patterns 

into the monotones of our existence

enticing us to see in full technicolour 

the unfolding beauty and mystery of life in and beyond our everyday.

  1. Try reading The Art of Enough by Becky Hall....it May bring you some prospective as to how to do the ‘middle’ with Diligence, respect, awe and wonder ...but mostly with planned simplicity .....the hardest art of all.
