Soul-scape - Breeze

The wind has picked up stirring and swirling and softly cooling my skin.
You notice the breeze more when for summer months and days on end the humidity hangs heavy in the air, like a barrier the breeze has to work and wiggle to get through.
As summer gives way to autumn, the leaves don't change color, as much as they begin to rustle and wave.
They begin to dance with some delight.
Creation as God's first testament is a multi-sensory invitation.
God causes sights that capture and captivate.
God moves through sounds that can alert and activate all part of our brain.
God awakens smells some pleasant (flower)...others not so much (skunks!)
Creature is full of tastes that could overwhelm our 10,000 taste buds.
But the sensation of touch....
       for rain that drenches
       for sun that soaks in, baptizes and sometimes burns
       for wind, breezes that can refresh, fill sails, and causes pollen to get caught up and carried away.

The breeze silently shaping the sands of our souls.
The breeze softly, persistently moving.
The breeze reminding us of the one the early ways God incarnationally came to us.

For God's original way communicating was not through words written in tiny print in a book to be solemnly read,
God's first plotting plan was a garden that could invite us to commune and form community.
That plan is not obsolete,
Rather, it is there all the time.
Rather, it is all around us.
The question is whether we are willing to listen to creation's choir?
The question is are we willing to breathe in creation's aroma?
The question is do we want to taste and see that the Lord is good?
The question is, how might traces of God's grace shape your soul in these autumn days.
