Afar
You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely. Psalm 139 NIV

Columbus’ Pedestal at Night
Where lies the land to which the ship would go?
Far, far ahead is all her seamen know.
And where the land she travels from? Away,
Far, far behind, is all that they can say.excerpt from Where Lies the Land

You’re Like Me… But Taller
Looks like Cat5 Critters come in more than one variety. I better keep an eye on this one, not only does it have AT-AT legs but a nose too!
Through That Gate of Glass…
I know a garden with three strange gates
Of silver, of gold, and glass.
At every gate, in a deep, soft voice,
A sentinel murmurs, “Pass.”At night I passed through the silver gate,
An ivory moon rode high;
I heard the song of the silver stars
That swung in the silver sky.I walked at dawn through the gate of gold,
And came to a golden sea.
Seven mermaids rose from the golden waves
And fluttered white hands to me.At last I came to the other gate.
The sentinel murmured, “Pass!”
I never will tell what lovely things
I saw through that gate of glass.
-‘The Last Gate’ by Stella Mead
Then the LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. -Genesis 2:15 NKJV
