A story about a God of broad places. The pursuit of God when we stray like sheep, when we forget our first love and go after cisterns that do not hold water. His relentless faithfulness, amidst our frailties.

    If only this grief had voice, how it would sing. When I remember the meadows, gilded golden by the sun; the pine trees in winter, burying the deep scent of a coming spring; the times spent on a solitary bench, with only the gulls crying out in the distance; then and only then, does this ache in my heart ease a little, for I remember you, how you filled all things...
