Barrett Lee, that song by Rich Mullins remains a favorite of mine. I chose the title very much aware of that wonderful song. So glad you love it too! Thanks for reading.

Both the title and content of this post reminds me of that tune:

“Be praised for all your tenderness
by these works of your hands,
suns that rise and rains that fall to bless
and bring to life your land,
look down upon this winter wheat
and be glad that you have made
blue for the sky
and the color green
that fills these fields with praise.”
-Rich Mullins

Yes, I love the leaves' backs, too. Thanks for the reminder of the mystery. You have spoken of this before, I think, and I have meditated on it: what is my Real Name? I think I'll know it when I hear it! 🙂
Thank you so much for reading and sharing your thoughts.

I remember a line that came to me one Spring many years ago in Atlanta. ( The Queen of Springtime trees). ” My whole world is laced in light lime green”.
I love th backs of the leave too. So private and fragile and unique. They touch me like hidden fingerprints.
Naming is human. Like Adam, like Jesus.
I absolutely revel in the passage from Revelation of the prize given to a trusting church. ” A white stone with a name on it ,known only by he who receives it .”Imagine being called Jesus and only the two of you know that it is you he is calling. A hidden proper name.
Love you Rebecca.
