weight

there is this unidentified weight resting slightly on my chest, the type of weight that is mysterious. this weight creeps in unsuspectingly, but is not always dark. it invokes silence and contemplation; it tills the ground of my mind. there is a beautiful longing in which words cannot express. it is this weight that seems to be present in the moments of my silence. in these moments, my heart is crying out for a home i have not seen and a Lover i have yet to hold. i embrace this cry, and i will be found wanting on the day of His return.

kabad is the hebrew root for the word "glory" in the old testament. it's literal translation is " to be heavy, be weighty, be grievous, be hard, be rich, be honourable, be glorious, be burdensome, be honoured."
