Thunder Moon, and Trees For Healing
by D. Thomas “Fruit trees of all kinds will grow on both banks of the river. Their leaves will not wither, nor will their fruit fail.

Wells of Water
By D. Thomas “The cove was a cool, deep pool in a ring of evergreens. The green-gold water flowed over everything and remained itself, seamless and whole. In the water she was free. The water made room for her, welcomed her, closed protectively around her, soft and warm and silky like the water of aContinue reading “Wells of Water”
Rings Of Fire
by D. Thomas “Were our hearts not burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” [LUKE 24: 32]’ I’d had intentions of writing weeks ago: I wrote about the Holy Spirit appearing as fire, and wanted to jump in with the Ring of Fire solar eclipseContinue reading “Rings Of Fire”
