Ezekiel 47:1-12 ~ Healing Waters from God's Temple
September 13, 2026
Thin rivulet emerging from the escarpment womb of springs
billions and billions of tiny H₂0s gladdened by the light of day,
healed of the dark unknown from which they came
gaining momentum on the decline,
jostling each other in joyful abandon
Trees, bushes, marsh marigolds sending slender roots, mouths athirst
for healing from the drought, for help in their growing
As the decline steepens, H₂Os in the trillions
dancing over rock and branch and clumps of weeds
leaping in droplets of millions into the air,
inventing circus rides of their own
Grateful grass greening along the way
as burbling waters moisten parched roots
Rocks, once sharp and edgy, subjecting themselves to
the soothing, smoothing touch of trillions of gurgling H₂Os
rushing over them
Dry, scratch air absorbing minions of H₂Os
for farmers’ fields beyond and my poor lungs right here
Healing flows by me and through me in this small stream,
part of the web, the temple of which I am a part
Being baptized right from the heart of God…

A laugh and a tear
got racing to the surface to
color the moment.

Lanterns of the Spirit’s Fire
November 24, 2024
My body is the lantern for my spirit’s fire.
My being sings the song of the Spirit’s lyre.
My ears pick up whispers of Love’s very essence.
My heart sits with others in a healing presence.
My eyes see visions of all that could be.
My mouth speaks words of trembling prophecy.
My hands reach for ways to live what I’ve been shown.
My feet move toward horizons as yet unknown.
If I don’t give in to fear,
I can be a lantern of the Spirit’s Fire.
If we don’t give in to fear,
we can be lanterns of the Spirit’s Fire.

Possibility
July 14, 2024
We live with possibilities in our veins,
seeing thresholds where some see walls.
Life closes enough doors as we make our way.
Reasoned rationale is not always right.
Keep the doors ajar.
Keep the windows cracked open
even when it rains
because we live with, we need, possibilities in our veins.
Mary Mollison, CSA asked: “What if…?”
Bobbie Kennedy wondered: “Why not?”
Martin Luther King, Jr. proclaimed: “I have a dream…”
We, too, live with possibilities in our veins,
rousing risk amidst reality
in hope …
