By Chance

“The more i practice, the luckier I get.” I asked Her “Where am I, I feel lost and asea?” She did not answer – I did not feel at home. So, I said, “Here I am, I am, who I am” Now, She answered and made me happy I asked Her, “what’s up, this is […]

Mercy

Mercy Sitting there in the Square ruined and disheveled, cloaked in drab failure, passers by pass by One stops and stoops and with extended hand says, “Tell me about it,” and sits to listen. “I took the coin and I ran, spending it all without care, and by myself, I was a winner. Now, look […]

Leap of Faith

I am this impossibility: my oneness trumps the universal; yes, I am not lesser but other. God is not less than or subject to the declarative demonstratives – the one for all and all for one rules; so too, I have union with our God without the commandments placebo; so too, Abraham is not condemned.
