In my favorite poem by Robert Frost, Nothing Gold Can Stay, he reminds us that like the seasons of nature, life is one season melting into another, and quickly fading away. This is my attempt to document each season in my life and my family.

Dusty Drafts – Vol 1

Filed under: General — Rachel at 5:00 am on Monday, April 13, 2009

I found several unfinished drafts in my draft folder of my blog.  I decided to publish them as is. They are what they are.

From April 16, 2008;

I wonder if everyone finds themselves where I am tonight. I’m sad, but with no good reason. My heart is heavy.

I so often find myself dwelling on things that are over and done with. An event, a feeling, a memory…all the ghosts from my history come around every now and then. They float around my mind…distracting me. It’s not that they have any great power over me, because they don’t. Sins from the past are forgiven. The dust has long since settled over the errant path that led me in the wrong directions. And, yet, forgiven does not mean forgotten. Dust that has settled was still stirred. So I find myself here. Contemplative. Remembering.

The Lord your God is in your midst,
a mighty one who will save;
he will rejoice over you with gladness;
he will quiet you by his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing.
