See what turns a man’s head and know how he’s steering his heart.
What is Lovely, to you?
Lovely… a magi. (Philippians 4:8)
The kingdom of your mind is a frighteningly real place.
You might not believe it.
In the kingdom of your mind there are many powers that be.
Hoofed dragons and winged pigs and heads with eyes all around.
Don’t be afraid! For ruling this great kingdom you are given a most powerful weapon.
I won’t tell you its sacred name, though you’ll probably guess.
Its power is “poof!” …creating mental images.
Lovely is a master with her sacred weapon, a master of the magical mental image.
In this noumenal kingdom she is Magistrate… Magician… Imagineer…
Question marks don pressed dress blues, line up and march in pretty little rainbows to the beat of her drum.
Encyclopedias of certainties shrink to two feet tall, take off all their clothes and wear the muddiest smiles you ever saw.
She imagines things so good and wonderful, and so they become.
Blindness becomes sight.
A star becomes a sign.
Heaven becomes here.
It’s a magical thing to see the birth before it’s born.
I’ve told you, she believes in the craziest possibilities. Like me.
A mystery.
Lovely… a lover of the One who Loves.
(who’s this Lovely? you’d better start at the beginning…)
