The Elephant in the room...

Verse(s) This is one of my favorite passages since losing Grace..... "1.O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. 2.You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3.You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 4.Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord. 5.You hem me in--behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. 6.Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. 7.Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? 8.If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. 9.If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, 10.even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. 11.If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," 12.even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. 13.For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. 14.I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. 15.My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, 16.your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be." Psalm 139

The Elephant In The Room



There`s an elephant in the room.



It is large and squatting,



so it is hard to get around it.



Yet, we squeeze by with,



"how are you" and "I`m fine..."



and a thousand other forms of trivial chatter.



we talk about everything else



except the elephant in the room.



We all know it`s there.



We are thinking about the elephant as we talk.



It is constantly on our minds.



For you see, it is a very big elephant.



But we do not talk about



the elephant in the room.



Oh, please, somebody say my child`s name



Oh, please, say it again



Oh, please, let`s talk about the elephant in the room.



For if we talk about their death,



perhaps we can talk about their life.



Can I say their name...



and not have you look away?



For if I cannot,



you are leaving me alone...



In a room...



with an elephant.
