Thank you for this beautiful writing with so many connections in nature and life. I was just reading Psalm 133 a few days ago and pondering about dew and anointing oil. I didn't get as far as you did, but I was thinking how welcome that dew would be in such a dry land.

This stopped me—that you were already sitting with dew in Psalm 133 just days ago!!That kind of convergence always feels like a beautiful resonance to me.

And your instinct is exactly right. In that dry land, dew wasn’t poetic decoration. It was survival. The fact that God chooses that image for both anointing and blessing and restoration says something profound about how He comes to us. Not in flood or force, but in the quiet, necessary, life-giving way.

Thank you for bringing Psalm 133 into this. You’ve given me something to sit with now. 🙏

"And because He blossomed here first, so in time shall we."

Amen! This is a beautifully written devotional piece!

Oh!!! I just had this thought on Psalm 133 actually. Dew and anointing oil. Both carry echos of the Spirit. What an interesting thread to follow! Thank you so much for sharing!
