Easter Morning, 2019

These weird connections 

Resurrection and rabbits?

And eggs with tie-dye?


May you find blessedness this day. 

A Wish

This child limping 

Long for Jesus’s power 

To heal with a touch 

Hope: Rage’s Antidote 

Rage’s hopelessness

It’s the mirror of despair 

Hope: the antidote

Hope requires vision, and the belief that humanity can work together. 

The Faithful Skeptic 

The faithful skeptic
Balancing my need to KNOW
With my need to trust

A Sunday Meditation

Camp Gwinwood Cross

Sunlight piercing leaves
A rough hewn cross pulls my eyes
Birds break my thoughts

The Dark Before Dawn

Still dark
No hints of dawn
Yet I know
It will come

I am awake in the early morning, pondering all that troubles me. 

Faith’s Srength: A Haiku 

Faith’s strength comes from trust 

Belief in benevolent

Energies driving 

A Transfiguration

Light across the cloud
The eye of God looking down
Changed when it meets me

 

Gregorian Chant: A Haiku

Ancient words now sung
Prayers chanted, incense rising
Candlelit stone walls


So many memories within cathedral walls. Chanted prayer always makes my heart soar. Gently, though, like a bird on the wing. Not garish as a jet.

A birthday meditation

Compline sung again
Mark another year of life
I am richly blessed
