I
You purposed me
Before I was
so I could be today
You never doubted
Should or shouldn’t I
Just in case I wasn’t
Good enough
So now I buy
That ancient gift
To use
What I can be
Your life in me
Your love in me
Your hope for me
Forever!

Your loving breath upon my soul

The Presence of God
In the silence of my innermost being,
in the fragments of my yearned-for wholeness,
can I hear the whispers of God’s presence?
Can I remember when I felt God’s nearness?

Y
ou are here, to the degree that I can let myself experience you. [...]

breathing life into me and into everything around me.

Around me, in my sensations, in my thoughts and deep within me.
I pause for a moment, and become aware
of God’s life-giving presence.

The Presence of God
God is with me, but more, God is within me.
Let me dwell for a moment on God’s life-giving presence
in my body, in my mind, in my heart,
as I sit here, right now.
ME…
Let me just allow that thought to penetrate my [...]
reaching out
Originally uploaded by dampies.
touch me
i need the strength
i need to know i’m not alone.
all my desperate minions
divided and separate
splinters of soul

today i am alone
no matter how many
mingle and mill where i am
so i

i tremble
tremble
tremble…
