Katy Trail Milepost 35

He is like a tree 
planted beside streams of water 
that bears its fruit in season
and
whose leaf does not wither.
Whatever he does prospers.
Psalm 1:3

In the almost quiet on a gravely trail, a bench sits silent before a tiny lagoon.  The water pools gently here as the wide Missouri lumbers on.  The trees along its edges curl forward sucking eagerly at its life-giving flow.  Lush and strong and green they thrive resting in the gifts of God. 

His word the waters of my soul; waiting, longing to sustain me, if I'm only wise enough to rest like the tree in the endless nourishing flow.
