more

more...
a common theme and flavor to our new year's forecasts, resolutions, intentions, goals, and requests.
more of this, less of that.

more is a cautious ask.

more must be defined in contrast to a less.
hope is refined in the hard.
power displayed in the powerlessness.
light sharpest midst darkness.

more may enter through old spaces.
what wells up from deep waters may be surprising, released with each wave.
it has made room in the deep places for more.
a more I’m not wise enough to define.

more is perhaps not an ask but a noticing.
the best more’s are not procured but received.
the fruitful more’s of tomorrow come from unseen, dark roots of today.

maybe there’s more.
i’ve had pain and sorrow, he knew more.
i’ve had joy, peace, love, he offers more.
maybe there’s more.
now looked upon directly, certainly he’s more.
now noticing the certainly,
and see it’s coming straight for me.

stand and relent to the pursuit of more.
make room for the more, wash away the old, behold a new thing, a more thing.
surely goodness and loyal love are chasing after me.
more is on the move.
light, love, and healing are on the move.
let more come. let more in.

ask differently for the more...
Counselor, what more would you have me know today?
Peace, what more would you have me feel today?
Love, what more do you have in store today?

now is enough, and more is coming.
what more could i ask for...
