All of the majestic beauty associated with Iowa during times of thaw. Rich the treasure of beans, frozen fields, tomorrow's corn. The Saviour born and then crucified on a hill so far far away, ever so far. More so in time than distance, yet his presense lives on today, blessed Saviour, precious redeemer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes folks, the great beauty of the Iowa thaw. The river, it's breaking loose, the swelling stream and racoon's paw, his paw mark showing through the refrozen ice. Rabbits hopping about in the backdrop whilst north bound birds fly in the open sky. A goose honks, so too the taxicab, through the puddle splashes the college student's boots. Why Iowa, is there a hidden Iowa riddle, why such an emphasis on Iowa? Because I live there I guess, excuse me while on the sky I scribble, blue February sky, Mockingbirds sing. At least they seem to be mocking to me. Mocking the deep freeze of January, stalking ever the pathways, even the open air circuits of the soon to arrive breeze, cool March winter's breeze, breath of sunshine, shivering February calm.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever been to Iowa? Or maybe I should ask, have you lived here long? Perhaps you've only heard the eastern Robins sing and needs be introduced to the Midwestern song, sparkling birdbaths of February. Don't worry, it's not too late, the birds may come back again. A performance to follow down at the hollow, for in Iowa many birds sing, March theatrics, chorus of the broken limb. I can see it now, just above the grazing cows, an orchestra of February's finest with fence-line theatrics as provided by the cat's meow, nervous songbirds, forest antics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes folks, welcome to the February thaw. Sure hope the snows don't blow in again. We would then have to reset the thaw-o-meter to March and stay inside and pluck on harps. Being stuck with February's pin, stinging cold, drifting highways. Sure can be hard to drive around. Hey, I'm an optimist. Can't you see that I'm trying to paint up February as something resembling spring? Maybe spring will arrive early with the March snow not quite so burly and February's ice not so hard to cling, winter's grip loosed, yet yonder clouds loom. Meanwhile creation blooms, the pictures are fixing to unfold. They're just folded up right now, so soon to unravel, beautiful gardens just beneath the February snow. Spring-loaded gardens, God's hand slowly snipping the icy seal. Radical radar, the location of winter's hovering beauty found. February icicles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalm 147:16-18 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes. (vs17) He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold? (vs18) He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Job 19:25-26 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: (vs26) And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8450721101548026427-306401157729009430?l=iowacitypoetrydoctrinebriansargent.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://iowacitypoetrydoctrinebriansargent.blogspot.com/feeds/306401157729009430/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8450721101548026427&amp;postID=306401157729009430' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8450721101548026427/posts/default/306401157729009430'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8450721101548026427/posts/default/306401157729009430'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://iowacitypoetrydoctrinebriansargent.blogspot.com/2008/02/iowa-treasures-february-thaw.html' title='Iowa Treasures - The February Thaw'/><author><name>Brian Sargent</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08800857587341130821</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8450721101548026427.post-8227075486534347167</id><published>2007-06-23T13:17:00.004-06:00</published><updated>2011-07-28T11:40:51.381-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Throughout the Seven Lambs</title><content type='html'>Throughout the seven lambs, pictured on the seventh month I see, the precious seven-letter Saviour dying on the tree.

It seems that many types of meditation are being brought into popular form, popping up as strange, yet colorful, weeds on the college lawn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; Young people are being introduced to various forms of meditation that were once reserved for the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;fruit flies&lt;/span&gt; of the east. The sticky and attractive "inner self movement" has now attracted many a western fly with the flypaper rolled out as red carpet, grounding techniques spiritual, strange insects from within.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are multiple forms of meditation out there along with many hybrid forms available. Many are impressed by the view offered with images of self capitalized. Dethrone ye this inner man of self.   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These inner mirror structures of self oft house some rather illuminating dragons. Verily such breath beneath the alter of lambs fallen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let one meditate on the precepts of Scripture and the mystery of godliness, even the personage of the blessed Saviour. The creation bearing witness of such things, verily holy writ as well, penned of the Levitical scribe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;John 2:24-25 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men, (vs25) And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Romans 7:18(a) For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;dwelleth&lt;/span&gt; no good thing: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ephesians 3:14-16 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, (vs15) Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, (vs16) That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit an the inner man;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colossians 2:2-3 and 2:9 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; (vs3) In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. (va9) For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalm 1:1-2 Blessed is the man that &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;walketh&lt;/span&gt; not in the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;counsel&lt;/span&gt; of the ungodly, nor &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;standeth&lt;/span&gt; in the way of sinners, nor &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" onclick="BLOG_clickHandler(this)"&gt;sitteth&lt;/span&gt; in the seat of the scornful.
