Quit being sad; hear blessings dropping their blossoms all around you!


"Don't ask questions about longing.  Look in my face.  Soul drunk, body ruined, these two sit helpless in a wrecked wagon.  Neither knows how to fix it.  And my heart, I'd say it was more like a donkey sunk in a mudhole, struggling and miring deeper.  But listen to me: for one moment, quit being sad.  Hear blessings dropping their blossoms around you.  God."
