blustering wind bellows
deliver dust carpets
bedevil jeweled breadcrumbs
vexing much ado
mind’s toasted corn kernals
snap pop pop snap
that and this
this and whatever
nipping heels of contemplation
stake quick claim
on my sovereign land
then flee

Breadcrumb

Today is not a day to meddle. Better to open wide my twitchy mind. Let everything have its way with me and keep nothing for my self. A squirrel chasing her tail fails to find the acorn. Chasing the trail of fireworks I fail to find light.

Thank you for reading these words,
written by grace and the grit of a real human being. Debra Asis

The assignment that brings me to the writing of these words is to unapologetically tell the story of how God nudges, cajoles, drop kicks and masters me to be the real human being that I am … becoming … following God’s Jeweled Breadcrumbs. My daily writing challenge for 2025 is to share the Breadcrumbs with you.
