Beside Lake Harriet

The freedom to do something else
It's the best part if being an observer at General Assembly.
Since this is the land of 10,000 lakes
we decided to find one this morning
Lake Harriet
Smack dab near the middle of Minneapolis.
Forrest, Emilie and I sat on benches to read and write.
Emi, Kim, Collin and Sadie took a walk.

My soul needed the green
the water
the quiet
after the slam dunk committee meetings

A chalk scrawled message on the sidewalk told me what I needed to know.
In blue, child like letters beside my wooden bench
it said simply, "God is love."

God is indeed love.
God will help us find our way through the storm.
