Did You Know….

The precise flush of your skin
at any given moment
has a world of significance

and maybe a direct relationship
with the brilliance of light in your eyes
but zero connection
to your always-illuminated soul?

Our Earth

As we consider the Day
This in earnest we say
We wish to go out from the fray
For we know You Are Home

But would it be okay
if we dance for more days
and more with creatures play
and, too, take the long way home?

Family

Oh God thank you, that in your love and wisdom, you knit together the Miracle that is the human frame.

You formed the bones and skin and muscles, sinew and nerves in such a way that They need each other.

May These limbs hold fast to all that is dear. Let the right arm take hold of the left arm and form the bridge of Faith between the Two.

Wisdom Is Everything

Wisdom is not grey, it is not abstract, it is not a metaphor.

It is human, flesh and blood and kind and good.

It is my favorite color. I am lucky it befriended me and I will never not love it.
