They sought for a city

I've been listening to Nana Peradze

sing Kyrie Eleison

throughout today.

*

My job seeking appointment was rescheduled.

*

Had further problems with a tenant in my building

petty stuff that needs not mentioning

just that it is frustrating

and is part of my life right now.

*

I keep thinking of Elizabeth Goudge's phrase

they sought for a city

from her book Linnets and Valerians

and of the hope of redemption in people's lives.

*

I think I have been sitting wrong,

lots of pain in the shoulder blade area.

Pain though can be redemptive, I pray.

*

I too have sought for a city.

*

4 There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God,
The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High.
5 God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved;
God shall help her, just at the break of dawn.

Psalm 46:4-5
