The fall of year is here, for which I am excited and refreshed. This past week I've developed a healthy desire to take a walk through the woods. Time has not cooperated, so I have yet to see my desire filled. I plan to try after work this evening, though I have plenty of schoolwork to keep me occupied. I think I will take Augustine with me on my walk to the park. I will walk with him, swing with him, and, hopefully, learn from him. I will have accomplished two things at the same time by doing this.
Yesterday I had such an intense thirst for solitude--well, not complete solitude; I wanted one-on-one time with God in a quiet place, particularly outside. I wanted to get away from all distraction and noise. I only wanted to hear the birds' songs and the crickets' ceaseless rhythms and the gentle voice of the Lord by His Spirit through His Word. I sat down on a grassy hill, almost hidden from sight, drinking some of the Scriptures. It was a good time, but only for a little while. I had to concede to my evening responsibilities.
We'll see. Maybe today.
