Wherever you are, there is God now

~ Wherever you are City, suburb ~ Country, desert, ocean Or underground ~ Or travelling through the air There is God now ~ With you Alongside you ~ In the souls Of all that you see ~ And that is the divine The Christ mystery. ~

New Blossomings of Hope

The apple blossom now is out And the bluebells dressed up early As if eager not to be outshone By the golden dance of daffodils Or the snowdrops’ pure white folk These lightsome, wondrous spring-filled days Raise the soul To higher beams of sunniness New blossomings of hope.

Wake To A Fearless Life

I woke to the light And to a voice that said “Do not be afraid You are not dead After all…” Was it an angel? I do not know But the call to a fearless life Inspired me so. Image by Rudy and Peter Skitterians from Pixabay

For Each Day…

For each day of laughter and light For each day that ends with peaceful night For each day the soul's enamoured with living A word, a prayer, a song of thanksgiving.

The Type of Personhood

~ In all I see ~ The one Who is ~ To be The type ~ Of personhood Born to make ~ All things Good. ~ Inspired by 'The Universal Christ' by Richard Rohr: "I saw with my mind, but as vividly as wonderful picture, Christ in them all." ~

Regeneration

The hour Of darkness ~ Is frightening For a child ~ Limited In reason’s power ~ To dispel The soul’s distress ~ Self-swallowed By self-doubt ~ Of trust destroyed Love destroyed ~ Destroyed What made life ~ Feel familiar Safe ~ All now strange Through alienation ~ All lost Until re-discovered ~ Through mystical Regeneration. …

Source of Contemplation

A poem is a meditation ~ A memorable repeatable ~ Source of contemplation. ~

Story Making

The story making spirit Interacting ~ Through words Communicating ~ Narratives of living Present, future and past ~ Creating sense And meaning ~ That somehow Might just last ~ Speaking to lives That ripen ~ To mature reflection So fast. ~
