The Impatient Patience of Love (An Intro to Song 1:7)
“I am tired, Beloved, of chafing my heart against the want of you; Of squeezing it into little inkdrops and posting it. And I scald alone, here, under the fire of the great moon.”
Being in love and in a wilderness – is there any more wrenching place to be?

The Touch Me Not Flower
There is an interesting wildflower that grows in the summer woods of N.Y. here, usually along streams. I look for it when I walk because the juice in its stems is said to be helpful if…

Beautiful Obscurity (Song 1:6 continued)
Jay Ferris had a striking analogy that was not always understood at first, saying,“The Kingdom of God is like a drop dead gorgeous woman who walks into a room full of women – gender neutral.”

Being Gazed Upon – An Intro to Song 1:5-7

My brother’s burned in anger with me; they made me guard the vineyards; but I have not guarded my own. Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where do you go to feed your flocks? Why should I be as one that is veiled by the flocks of your companions? ~Song 1:5-7

House of Peace or House of Cards?
King David, Solomon’s father, was said to be a man “after God’s own heart.” Not so much after His mind, His purpose, His plans, but His heart. There’s something passionate in this that I can’t shake. David was a visionary for the central part of God, the part that makes Him tick and from which everything flows.
