When my ability
to rejoice in life
is strangled
by an anxious
compulsion—
even to do good—
I have muted
my resonance
with the eloquent
symphony of the Spirit.© 2016 Dennis Ference

Surprised
I have felt Love’s gentle breezes;
I have felt its gale force winds.
And when I think
I can predict its next move,
I find myself surprised yet again.© 2016 Dennis Ference
Most Powerful of Forces
Love is
the most
powerful
of forces.
Allowing it
to flow
through you
will shake
and rattle
the doors
and windows
of your soul.© 2016 Dennis Ference
There are times…
There are times
when silence
is eloquence.
There are times
when emptiness
is grace.
There are times
when being is easy
and what is
is more than enough
to embrace.© 2016 Dennis Ference
The Spirit Within
Unaware of the Spirit within,
I look at my reflection
and am drawn to my flaws
and imperfection.
Aware of the Spirit within,
I look at my reflection
and am awakened
to a deeper vision
of beauty and grace.© 2016 Dennis Ference
Self-deception
Such sorry self-deception—
to believe that politics
of disinformation and division
can lead to anything other than
discord and distrust.© 2016 Dennis Ference
“Yes”
In the sacred dialogue
that is your life,
“yes” may well be
the single most
significant word
you will ever speak.© 2016 Dennis Ference
All around you…
All around you
there are struggles
raging on.
All around you
tenacity, patience,
and courage.
You are one with
nature’s noble effort,
it’s ongoing, heroic journey
from death into life.
Live your days
with awareness and
great respect for it all.© 2016 Dennis Ference
Infinite Potential
Considering God
as Infinite Potential
makes surrender to God
an exhilarating adventure.© 2016 Dennis Ference
From the Water’s Edge
A blogger friend suggested to me, a good number of months ago, that my daily blog musings could make a good book. Not too long ago I eclipsed the 400 blog posts mark and began taking his suggestion seriously. Now I’m only a month or so away from the release of From the Water’s Edge, a book of 365 musings for daily meditation or anytime reflection. It will be available from Amazon and Kindle. I hope there will be enough interest among you readers, when the book comes out, to prove my blogger friend right.
