Dear God,

I never imagined a tangled, menacing woods could open itself making way for a spiritual path.  To co-create and become a partner in your holy plan has been extremely humbling.  Daily as I work clearing, cleaning, digging, planting and praying, I am reminded all things are possible with you.

In the beginning it was threatening.  I never wanted to get close.  My daughters demanded I not let their children get near our woods.  Yet, across the years now, more than a decade, slowly, very slowly dead trees have fallen or been cut down.  Huge, thorny bushes have been dug up and burned.  Roots have been pulled up, dug up or cut away.  Leaves have been raked.  Junk has been discarded.  Light has come.  Birds sing again.  We can actually see the river below.

Yes, all things are possible with our creator.

Thank you,
Ever-Creating God,
thank you
for the gift
of the
spiritual path.
Thank you
for each discovery.
Thank you
for your
spirit breath blowing
in the wind.

Love always, Andrea
