Blessed are they
who have found a way
to live their daily hurts
without repression
or life-stripping
indulgence.© 2017 Dennis Ference

Feet of Clay
Walk always toward the Light
on humble feet of clay,
and fly the winds of fate
with joyful winged praise.© 2014 Dennis Ference
Either…or…
Either we acknowledge
that God is in all things,
or we have lost the basis
for seeing God in anything.~ Richard Rohr
Possessed by God
Blessed are those
who stop trying
to possess God
and are content
to be possessed by God.© 2017 Dennis Ference
The Spirit’s Breath
Be heartened by the certainty
that whether you wake
to a hurricane or gentle breeze
the divine Spirit continues
to lovingly breathe
in you.© 2015 Dennis Ference
Uncertainty
Blessed are those
who are not tortured
by the need to escape
every uncertainty.© 2017 Dennis Ference
Lightness of Being
Let the sum
of all the moments of love
you have ever known
strip you naked
of roles and titles
wounds and triumphs
and breathe you
into the singular
present moment
where nothing
can weigh you down,
where nothing exists
but the blissful
lightness of Being.© 2015 Dennis Ference
In your passion…
In your passion
to do God’s will,
do not forgo
the stillness
that listens
for God’s guidance.© 2017 Dennis Ference
Blessings
When someone speaks
a blessing for me
I feel supported.
When someone IS
a blessing for me
I feel loved.

Being Human
To ask no questions
about your life
is to ignore
the puzzling
contradictions
that surface
in the ordinary
course of
human living.© 2017 Dennis Ference
