Again and again,
day after day,
choose to extend
your arms and open
your heart, releasing
streams of compassion
far beyond the small,
limited self into the awesome,
astounding universe that shimmers
and thrives on Love.© 2015 Dennis Ference

The Favor of Fear
Before you surrender
your fears, you must believe
you can surrender your fears.
Before you can believe you can
surrender your fears you must
want to surrender your fears.
Before you can want to surrender
your fears you must feel them
crushing you and choking you.
And after you have felt this,
may you one day come to know
that fear has done you a favor.© 2015 Dennis Ference
New Creation
Make no mistake about it,
saying “yes” to being a new creation
from this moment onward
involves risk and resolve.© 2015 Dennis Ference
Certain Death
Here is the burning question
that will define my life
and purify my intentions
if asked often and in earnest:
Can I trust God knowing
I will surely die?© 2015 Dennis Ference
Vulnerability
Cherish your vulnerability.
It is the fertile ground
out of which your love
grows and matures at last
into the mystery
of Divine Love.© 2015 Dennis Ference
Sense of Humor

to confirm physical life.

Live
In all your searching
for how to live,
do not forget to live.© 2015 Dennis Ference
