Lifetime’s Journey

It is a lifetime’s

journey

.

From knowledge to

knowledge

.

Grace

to grace

.

And the blessing

we pray

.

Is for each footstep

that we make

.

Along our daily

wondrous way.

.

Connect With All That Links The Soul

God is

In all things

.

God was

In darkness

.

And in

Mystery

.

The silent voices

Speaking to me

.

In bleak and blank

Experience

.

To leave the solitary

Experiment

.

Connect with all

That links the soul

.

To infinities

Of consolation

.

The blessing

Of the spirit’s life

.

And my

Salvation.

Disciple to the Edge of Heaven

That felt need

A childish illusion

.

Now adulthood

Has come

.

And I can count

A rich profusion

.

Of blessings

Graces given

.

Transforming

From my prior delusion

.

Disciple

To the edge of heaven.

.

“Disciple to the edge of heaven”

Seeking They Know Not What

To be

A blessing

.

With words

Of grace

.

All who come

Seeking

.

They know not what

From this place.

Consolation

All this silence

Is so I can live

.

So I can give

To the world

.

That love

It cannot find

.

That peace

It seeks

.

In some kind

Of affirmation

.

The blessing

Of divine

.

And universal

Consolation.

.

A Father’s Fury

A father’s fury

Is not enough

To abandon

A faith

Lived

Deep enough

To cast away

All clothing

Of body

And soul

For the blessing

Of divine paternity.

“St. Francis Renounces All Worldly Goods”, Giotto

That Moment

That moment

Of blessing

.

When there is

Spirit touching

.

Your spirit

And the heavens

.

Are thrown open

To reveal such light.

.

‘Baptism of Christ’, Piera Della Francesca

Breeze of Blessing

The breeze

Brings blessing

.

From hills

And fields and sky

.

As if

The inspiration

.

Were the true

Vocation of the soul

.

Seeking wisdom

Unity.

Inspired by “The Prelude”, Wordsworth, Book 1, Lines 1-6

For All Generations

This word

Has been given to me

.

For you

And for all the others

.

The word

Of God’s blessing

.

For all generations:

Beloved.

The Blessing of Beauty

Receiving all we want

Or need

.

The light

Of sight

.

The blessing

Of beauty

.

The music

Of birdsong and winds

.

As if all

Was created

.

To provide

What we need

.

Through each day’s

Moment of life.
