Accepting and Surrendering

Accepting and surrendering,
stressing and anxious thinking.
There is a direction
to choose each day.

The Pinnacle of Prayer

The pinnacle of prayer is reached when we can trust
that we are constantly in the presence of God.

~ Richard Rohr

The Beauty of the World

A lovely, poetic Christian image:

The beauty of the world is
Christ’s tender smile for us
coming through matter.

~ Simone Weil

A Beauty in the Aged

There is a beauty
in the aged,
yet to be born
in the young,
which can be seen
only by the eyes
of the pure of heart.

Being

The reality of all life is, as it were, an unceasing dance on all levels of being, material, instinctual, psychic, and spiritual, in which every motion of the tiniest part, weaving patterns of exchange and transformation, affects the whole.

~ Helen M. Luke

A Lesson of Peace

In that place
where darkness
and light
feather gently
into one another,
the universe offers
its children
a lesson
of peace.
