I am wondering

I've been wondering what thoughts are stirring down there, Gary, that will reward me for the effort to do the BLOG dialog. I'm a bit out of currency for spending much personal and spiritual time on the Web--or even in email dialogs with friends--because of a busy life. Will your thoughts slow me down and build me up, will they be easily forgotten like the taste of a mint after a big meal (good, but never the topic of discussion), will they yank my tether strong enough I will see God's hand at the other end? Or will this be fun stuff, good stuff, but nothing that will upgrade my Walk with God or that will channel my energies or sharpen my intentions in serving God, family, and mankind?

journal of a high plains drifter

 


heart words
spilling into the journal
sloshing from mind to page
reality of rain soaked freedom
bought at staggering price

smelling of Toffee
of cowboy coffee
mountain rain
etched and stained

heart words
near trail's end
reflection of grandeur
whose journal marks
the trail through time

Vern Hyndman for GT

that's me and my saddlemate

That's me and my saddlemate looking into the chilled wind and the misty gray
Not sure what awaits our gait.
But the empty saddle, like the empty chair at sup,
Awaits the Presence of the Wrangler who knows the way
And won't leave our day to fate.

A Cowboy's Prayer
I thank you, Lord, that I am placed so well,
That you made my freedom so complete;
That I'm no slave to whistle, clock, or bell,
Nor weak-eyed prisoner of wall and street.
Just let me live my life as I've begun
And give me work that is open to the sky;
Make me a pardner of the wind and sun,
And I won't ask a life that's soft or high.

hey... is that you out there?

I'm looking out from my blog, and I can indistinctly see a few of you... let me put the Cowboy Coffee on and we'll get on down the trail.
