It Shall Pass
November 09, 2025
The dull aching of one’s heart
Slow deep like smoldering ashes
And forgotten dreams.
Nothingness oozing sluggishly.
This pain cannot last.
It is not the sharp pain of heroes and heroines
But the deadening pain
Of the unknown sameness
And yes it shall pass.
It shall pass.

Again

Broken-shattered dreams
Child toys mended
Love again- the teddy bear
And see the stars Remember
Then laugh into Being
New dreams - New Hope

Openness of heart
Breathing in the space for love to enter.
Seeing with the heart
The play of light and dark,
the breathtaking colors and shapes.
Responding with the heart
Praising in humble thanksgiving
the wonders of creation
Openness, seeing, responding
Our hearts’ work
The vast majestic canyon
silently praises God
in reflecting the sure immensity
and splendor of God's love

Connectedness
September 14, 2025
We are brothers and sisters
to all of creation.
The air we breathe is God’s breath.
The water is life-giving nourishment.
The soil
is the very substance of our lives.
The plants, springing up from the earth,
nourish us.
We are all connected
in this web of life.
All creation radiates the glory of God.

Exploding Star
August 24, 2025
We are dancing the stardust
Of an exploding star
Dreaming beyond this now.
The melodies of the heavens
Joining with earth’s own harmony
Creating a new symphony of life.
The laughter of children
Cradled in the wisdom of grandmother’s arms
And embraced n grandfather’s remembrance.
Rituals of healing
Softening the tears of yesterday
While tenderly offering hope.
As new rains call the seedlings
To flower.
And we the once were
Even now
Forever in radiance.
