HURT

            I didn’t sleep last night.  My mind wouldn’t rest.  I was hurt, not scared, just hurt.  I was disappointed to see how fast and rapid a society can turn, how in our age of modern wonders, the fear of catching anything remotely dangerous can make us look upon all as if lepers.  The parables […]

WHAT WE CHOOSE TO SEE

On days Man does his best to frame And shape our world as dark, Look truthfully, with eyes, and see Goodness all around.   Live the beauty.  Live the good. Watch them return, just as they should. Isn’t it interesting, our world becomes What we choose to see… “Our world becomes what we project and […]

SOLSTICE

With little note, the sky is changed. Light extends its time; And the longest darkness of our nights Now are days behind.   The change, it happens subtle, But that is all it takes To begin the cycle Where our world, again, will wake:   When life rises from the Earth, Spreads amongst the trees, […]

CHIMERAS

“…it is one of the fatalities of humanity to be condemned to eternal combat with phantoms.  It is difficult to seize darkness by the throat, and to hurl it to the earth.”               Chimeras are not real.  They never were.  The lion exists.  A goat is real, serpent too, but not the way Man […]

FINALLY

I admitted I was lonely: And so I wrote it down. Then put it out to all the world In hopes it might be found;   That I might learn and come to see It wasn’t only me; That someone else might feel the same And feel a friend in me.   I’ve never been […]

A DIFFERENCE

            Some people are different, and it doesn’t show until the fire—when you see the full of what’s within.  When others break, they smile, not of cruelty but with compassion.  They assure in doubt, strengthen in times of weakness.  When others fear, they are calm, steady, and in uncertainty around, others follow out of trust. […]

MOVED

            “If they make you better, that’s what matters.  Don’t destroy something good simply because it’s of a source you did not expect.  Don’t judge from preconceptions that inhibit growth: live, experience, respond.              People and circumstance come into our lives to bring about our change, our growth, and movement towards something better.  We cannot […]

ACT OF THE WILL

“Love is not primarily an emotion, but an act of the will.”—Bishop Robert Barron                   There are many days I don’t feel love, not in the way most often imagined.  I don’t wake, heart aglow with passion or elation for another.  As years pass, people and passions change.  It’s not what it was when […]
