The Midnight Ocean
  
Reflections, Poetry, and Prose from the depths of the Midnight Ocean.
Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD;
O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. Psalm 130
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant. After those days, saith the LORD,
I will put my law in their inwards parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God,
and they shall be my people. Jeremiah 31:31-33
Wherefore the law is holy, and the Commandment Holy, and just, and good. Rom7:12
Sifatai tiftach- u'fi yagid- tehilatecha!
- If I open my lips- let my mouth- declare Your praise!

I'm an enigma. A puzzle... and I skip, hop, and leap-frog from one cryptic shadow of life's substance to the next. I often speak to people, and myself in riddles. I don't know why, sometimes I wish I didn't do this. It's... well, puzzling. I keep my mind occupied much of the time by pulling memories from the past and attempting to intertwine them with knowledge from this source, or that. It seems that I'm always trying to complete this mysterious puzzle despite not having enough pieces. The foundational pieces are raw memories, and knowledge and wisdom are more the interconnecting pieces which tie them all together. It's these interconnecting pieces- where the art of life lies. Whether joyful or rueful, good reflection always bridges the gaps with a certain elegance.

I frequently catch myself waiting to see what next piece time will bring me. This is my life. I feel free to smile a bit now because a light has begun to emerge in the landscape of what little I have in place. It's not unlike having about 1,000 piece's set in place, of some 25,000+ piece puzzle of ...maybe, a lighthouse (?). I don't think I'll ever really finish. Perhaps, we do what we can here and then G-d shows us the rest in the hereafter. Maybe it'll be an eerily- tragic, yet beautiful, tossing sea with a tattered ship distant beyond the harbor. Or maybe, a calm morning with a family strolling about the girded cement walkway above the water, with seagulls swirling happily above. Who's to say what time and G-d will allot? It's just too soon. It's always too soon; that is until it's over. But I know this, it is art. All of it. And G-d made it. And though I cannot lay down those character piece's time has not yet given; I can parley the wisdom and knowledge of G-d's beauty ahead of me. In this way can I lay my own backdrop for the substance of things hoped for. That's faith. And that is a lot of pieces.

The Ancient Bedouin have a saying for those whom G-d sends them, they say, "If I had known you would honor me by walking this way, I would have strewn the path between your house and mine with mint and rose petals."

I ask myself now, what might I say of the pathway of my future Queen which G-d might send? Looking top to bottom of what puzzle has already been laid, tonight I'd offer a few brilliant sapphire colored pieces in hopes of stamping together a bit of skyline in my Life's puzzle.
I'll liken it to the Exodus when the Israelites had agreed to follow the Law and the Book of the Covenant, and Moses, Aaron and 70 elders ascended the Holy mountain and were allowed a glimpse of G-d's feet there. "[B]Under His feet there was a likeness of a pavement of sapphire like the very sky for purity."
Sapphire sky under His feet. Purity. Book and Covenant.
That's beauty, faith, and G-d. It's peace.
And it's...piece by piece.
... It is art.

Now I have but to wait for The Queen that's meant to fill the space amidst my backdrop of sapphire skyline.
Mint and rose petals to her.

GBY all,
sabrefire
