problems
possibilities in disguise
the cure?
live one day at a time

pray for today

and the will be
we are people floating ever
on the edge of eternity
the wave
where only
our next move
can make a difference

From Sacred Space Daily Devotional
The Presence of God
To be present is to arrive as one is and open up to the other. At this instant, as I arrive here, God is present waiting for me. God always arrives before me, desiring to connect with me even more than [...]

thoughts on denial

I have often thought of why it is so easy to cry about a beautiful sunset of some classical music, or to allow my heart to be melted by some poignant moment on TV in a series, when my heart is so numb to my real deep pain and anguish. Now that I am trying [...]

Let me just allow that thought to penetrate my [...]

REJECTION

REJECTION
I don’t believe that after 7 years you could just discard me because I choose a different life. Honestly I would have thought that you’d be happy for me.

touch me
i need the strength
i need to know i’m not alone.
all my desperate minions

no matter how many
mingle and mill where i am
so i
reach out
i tremble
tremble
tremble…
