it's all about the Cup...

10/3/2018

I relish the eyes of my "coffee" cup with the same memory as witnessing the layers of paint worn on the steps of a Victorian staircase. Young, old, new life, death, laughter and tears, layered memories, each lift, lifting a trace of color, treading on soul, into their daily course.

it's all about the cup...
The retrospection that fills my view, ignites my words, moves my furniture as I nestle in to talk with Him. Scripture clearly says He prepares a table before me, in the presence of mine enemies, Psalms 23:5. that beauty, profound to confound. So, my enemies know what weapon is defeating them.

it's all about the cup...
My weapon is communion. The bread and the wine of intimate relationship. Experiencing the detail and thought of the table my Lord prepares.

It certainly is ALL about the cup...
In color, they cheer the season of my calendar.
In hue, they display my taste to remember the journey.
In-handle, their fit, is gloved weighted perfection.
In-size, they measure more than enough, or just a sip, to temper the tongue.
Not just coffee but the deliciousness of warmth, cupped in my hand, drawing all my attention to the moment, living in the breath. Living out the daydream, the dream-of-the-day.

it's all about the cup...
For an extended moment, I'm raptured beyond the morning chill, captured up yonder to a world more real, set higher than the yoke of yesterday.

it's all about the cup...
you offer me rich choices, such hospitality shared, opening your cupboard celebrating my eccentric bill-of-fare. Because you know this about me, brings me back round'

it's all in the cup of relationship,
here, heaven, treasured porcelain, the cup has a sound.
We ring in the New Year,
We block out winter's cold,
We wait for the secrets that spring surely holds,
We tether the morning before the garden is hot,

it's all about the cup...
a bliss-filled thought, sought, caught, taught, naught! Yum!

just a lifesaver smile, enjoy your day!
