Belongings impose… Possessions clutter – The less I need, the more I want… I cannot own happiness. Quid pro quo promotes ego… Sharing welcomes the stranger – More is less, less is more… Selflessness sustains oneness. Life’s path is a labyrinth… Love’s path is an open heart. The less IContinue reading “Emptiness”

Good Grief
a remembrance for Anita Lesbriel She was at rest and seemed at peace… In the mourning with thought and prayer – good-bye. Love unbounded… She followed her husband who passed shortly before – too quick. Overwhelmed I was very sad… To be honest a bit angry – not her time. Then more rightly… Feeling betterContinue reading “Good Grief”
Free
Freedom accepts and creates Unity free does not deny difference Freedom listens and hears Harmony free does not prevent publishing Freedom includes and restores Beauty free does not exclude equally Freedom employs and shares Blessings free does not hinder hiring Freedom yields and produces Fruit free does not coerce compliance
Destiny
It’s more than talk the labyrinth walk. The path to obey is a narrow way. Attachments lead – to unfulfilled need. Personal ambition – thwarts the mission. Quid pro quo loves pay-to-play shoves.

Affect
Silence reforms quiet echoes with resonance Mirrors reflect image and likeness with candidness Listening replies hear what God hears with reverence Prisms refract colors revealed with truthfulness Beauty restores real communion with elegance
Effect

marginalized (next day repost)
abandoned and hopeless, left alone and thankless overlooked and useless… unlovely “We labor in the tangled parts of the Vineyard in the midst of those who are furiously hostile”[1] Missionaries sow despite a lack of support – where many are unfriendly, where most are unwelcoming. Embrace the rejected – “What a life to seek such!..Continue reading “marginalized (next day repost)”
