how
possibly does just a short little evening rain
redeem the day
"Hiddenness is an essential quality of the spiritual life
solitude (on the front porch swing)
silence
sleeping (in our treehouse room)
eating (a small family lamb dinner with a long loved friend)
working
playing (with the babies)
...all of that without being different from others
that is the life that Jesus lived and the life He asks us to live
It is in hiddenness that we find
a true intimacy with God
and a true love for people
If we don't have a hidden life with God
our public life for God
cannot bear fruit"

This quote speaks into my journey. Thank you for sharing. I've been accused of hiding, when the difference is that it was all about God. Seeking Him. In the still.
You take exquisite photos. Soft.
