ETERNAL ROMANCE

                “Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves…Do not seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them.  And the point is, to live everything.  Live the questions now.  Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, […]

HEART OVERFLOWING

                They stood together in the current of the stream, sandaled feet on sand and pebble bed, waters running clear, cool, and pure from the flow of mountain springs—water purified through time, filtered through earth’s layers of stone and rock, slowly, and in finding vein and medium for release, rising in ebullition from earth’s perceived […]

OUT OF THE BLUE

                They rested together, on cabin porch, facing the western sky as sun neared in communion with crown of rising earth.  They gazed on sky transformed, hues of revelation from out of the blue, before colors receded into transfigured after-sky of night.  In the changing air, the scent of pines held strong in mountain glade, […]

MIND, ENFLAMED

          She rested in the recess of a shadowed room reading in the soft light and aura-warmth of a mind, enflamed.  Outside, sky shone grey over earth’s blanket-white.  Through window, she listened to the soft sledge-sound of passing cars, tires through slush, snow in melt on the black, and ambient heat, of asphalt’s face.           […]

LISTENING

CONNECTIONS

                Connections: aren’t they what life is about—experiences, moments, depths shared with another?  What is life absent meaningful engagement with the souls that surround us?  Why are we struck differently by one than another?  How do we learn if we do not seek, respond and act in affect to natural draws?                  Maybe the draw […]

EPIPHANY

                They came upon a clearing, a meadow of open grass on hilltop of ridge above the living shadow of the woods on mountain’s sides.  Doves held in the bare winter branches of woods’ edge, gathered to feed on the heads of foxtail winterkilled in the meadow and laying slumped in stalks by the weight […]

HEARD GOD LAUGH

When you receive a free book (“I Heard God Laugh,” by Matthew Kelly) in the mail and take it as a sign to scribble… We may not always understand our purpose. Plans may not go as we intend or dream, but there’s more to come, and in time–if blessed–maybe we’ll begin to see a greater […]
