Haven’t blogged for awhile
and may not blog again.
Entering a new adventure and challenge called pancreatic cancer. All words pale in the mystery of it that sends me deeper into the Mystery of God. Blessings to all. You may yet see my words here again. Peace.
The power to move mountains
does not come from our words or deeds,
clever and efficacious as they may seem,
but rather from harmony with the Word of God
secretly spoken within us.
Therefore, while not neglecting
to act or speak, likewise do not neglect
to stop and listen.© 2015 Dennis Ference
A relationship, family,
community, country, or world
that does not aspire to grow
in self-giving, compassionate love,
will either self-destruct,
or, at best, be merely a shadow
of what it could be.© 2018 Dennis Ference
The insistence on
and illusion
of perfection
leaves neither door
nor window open
for self-emptying love.~ Dennis Ference
In honoring mothers
let us recognize
and declare
humanity’s primary need
and ever-present
yearning for love.© 2018 Dennis Ference
Violence in speech,
often peddled
as frank discussion,
is still violence,
never constituted
to give or nurture
Life.

Fear

given for
Love.

Though your spirit
may soar
above the oceans,
may you never forget
the delight of sinking
your toes in the sand.© 2018 Dennis Ference

Here…
now…
this…
be.
Never stray far
from this simple formula
for love and life.© 2015 Dennis Ference
