Not laughing at yourself
at least once a day
is like forgetting
to take your heart pill—
very risky.© 2015 Dennis Ference

We cannot attain
the presence of God
because we’re already
totally in the presence of God.
What’s absent is awareness.~ Richard Rohr

just might
wake up.~ Paul F. Knitter

We wear our doubts
about our worth
like a heavy back pack
of unsympathetic stones
forcing us to bend body and soul
to balance the burden of its weight
as we press forward to carry on.
So used to this merciless load
do we become that we forget
we were not born with it
and that it’s possible
to undo the bindings
and lay it down
at the sacred altar
of God’s love.

Meaty spirituality
must first of all teach us
freedom from the self,
from my own self
as a reference point
for everything or anything.~ Richard Rohr

If we are not responding
to the sufferings of others
and think we are responding
to the reality of the Divine,
we most likely are following
a misleading path.~Paul F. Knitter
