A true awakening of his glory and presence. “Drunk on the ecstasy of my senses swallowing me…” calls to mind many of the bridal mystics’ writings. This moment rises, like the bird of prey, far above ordinary prose. Well done Jessica.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02273349436461781371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583035984896584839.post-45319911732634418392011-02-18T13:09:07.811-08:002011-02-18T13:09:07.811-08:00A special moment and fantastic words.

You experienced what I experience often. As your poem, it's lovely, it's poignant, your words were truly God inspired and I wouldn't edit anything in or out of it. You will always remember this special walk and how the Lord touched you in the woods and inspired you to write from your heart. The woods nearby my home are part of my sanctuary, so I could really relate. God bless and I look forward to your next walk in the woods...Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06311734237824041484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583035984896584839.post-25390895158636850742011-02-18T06:26:17.928-08:002011-02-18T06:26:17.928-08:00I am just amazed by your faith.
