busyness.
I think that's what you would call it.

Here's a song I wrote this morning during my quiet time in a park across from where I work while sipping a hot (but unfortunately quite strong) coffee, which thankfully provided a small amount of mental stimulation. It's from Psalm 139.

You've searched me,
And You know me,
You have planned out all my days,
You're behind me,
And before me,
You are with me all my days,

Where could I go from you?
If I rise with the dawn still You are there,
Where could I hide from you?
Even in this raging sea You're here,

So search me and know me,
Expose my anxious thoughts,
Then lead me and guide me,
To a perfect trust in You my king.

In the silence,
In my darkness,
You are the light that guides me,
In the moment,
Of my weakness,
You are the strength that holds me,

Where could I go from you?
If I rise with the dawn still You are there,
Where could I hide from you?
Even in this raging sea You're here,

So search me and know me,
Expose my anxious thoughts,
Then lead me and guide me,
To a perfect trust in You my king.

I didn't necessarily try to fancy it up as far as words go. I was more just trying to catch the gist of the Psalm.

The problem was that I didn't have a mocha. I had something else and it was too strong for my amateur coffee drinking skills.
