Powerful Prayer

The power of prayer for God’s assistance
emerges from a letting go of resistance
to God’s unpredictable ways.

A Full Life

If you want to live a full, meaningful life
ground yourself in God who is Life.

Spontaneity

Spontaneity is the godchild
of unconditional love.

Genuine Surrender

If our surrender to the Divine
does not include a humble admission
of the impotence of mind and will alone
to effect the peace and harmony we so long for,
it may just be a Promethean ploy
to steal fire from the gods.

Need for Compassion

Compassion is best served from a larger tray
that includes compassion for one’s self.

Lose the Labels

We tend to dress
ourselves and others
in robes labelled
“worthy” and “unworthy”
that fit so tightly
they impede dancing
to the spontaneous
and unpredictable rhythms
of Love.

The Artist

The artist looks
at all that is
through the eyes
of a midwife
eager to assist
at yet another birth.

Relationships

In the ripening
of one’s relationships
communication
coupled with communion
produces luscious
and succulent fruit.

Passion

If you were to rank your desires
according to their power to move you
where would your passion
for the Divine Presence fall?

Distortion

Taking the ego-self too seriously
is like basing a wardrobe choice
on the image in a funhouse mirror.
