Witness (Psalm 36)
My heart has a vision the wicked have no love of God their eyes do not see. They are proud and arrogant they are never penitent. They are wicked and deceitful; No good can come of them. They do not ponder or brood; they do not follow your ways Continue reading “Witness (Psalm 36)”
Embracing Change
O God, I am tired and confused. Help me be still, Help me be quiet and listen, Help me not be overwhelmed by what must be done. Give me peace as I start anew. Help me rest assured in your presence, Help me say, “Yes, I can”, Help me trust you and myself. O God,Continue reading “Embracing Change”
Merciful
Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy.[1] Above peace, empathy’s comfort, beyond justice, compassion’s heart, hence harmony’s restoration.

Just as my insight changes, so, too, my consciousness reflects the nested reality of whar makes me up – and what I’m making up. It helps me to see. If I walk barefoot, and absorb the power of theContinue reading “Eye of the Heart”
Yearn (Psalm 63)

Fondness (Psalm 24)
God is Love and we who abide in Love; abide in God and God in us. She is Queen of all the earth over the land and under the sea She provides living water to everyone. Who can ascend the hill of God? and who can stand in Her holy place? ThoseContinue reading “Fondness (Psalm 24)”
Goodness (Psalm 4)
Here I am, hear my plea, O my God. I feel abandoned and all alone; I even wonder why you would listen to me be merciful to me and hear my prayer. How long, must I live with these indignities? Is my life full of delusions? Am I lying to myself? My Lady hasContinue reading “Goodness (Psalm 4)”
