The tides of change
can drown you or
baptize you. Take
courage in knowing
that ultimately
the choice is yours
alone to make.

“Have you ever heard the sun come out in the morning?
Did you hear the moon come out last night?

We have been taught that power is loud, forceful, aggressive, and somewhat intimidating.
It is not.
In silence the Creator works.”

“Look at everything always as though you were seeing it
either for the first or last time:
Thus is your time on earth filled with glory.”

You light the fires deep within my heart
Causing tiny embers to become ablaze
Filling my world with Your love’s glow
While sweeping my love filled mind away

For every time Lord, that I pray to You
I find again my spirit starts to ascend
As I am touched by Your amazing grace
That in love, I now simply begin again

I started to always feel this way, Lord
That memorable day we first did meet
And like that day You have never changed
As Your love still sweeps me off my feet

And the flames of love are fanned daily
As they softly burn in my spirit deep
Know my Lord I am a willing servant
To the Holy One who will never let me be.

(One of my first written for God, 1971)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Romans 8:38
For I am convinced that neither death nor life,
neither angels nor…

I am not old
I am rare
I am the standing ovation
At the end of a play
I am the retrospective
Of my life as art
I am the hours
Connected like dots
Into good sense

I am the fullness of existing

You think I’m waiting to die..
But I’m waiting to be found
I am a treasure.
I am a map.
And these wrinkles
Are the imprint of my journey
Ask me anything

and it is yours to bring forth sweet music from it
