shrouded in a veil of darkness

shrouded in a
veil of darkness


my inner being 
weeps


nestled deep within
God's own being


i find comfort
in each sparkling tear


a silent reminder
of God's 
gentle healing


o God
I am yours
only yours

Into the Abyss ...

Into the Abyss … GOD within my Soul

Into the Abyss I will not go

From the Abyss I will not return

Who are you?

Why do you pursue me with such relentlessness?

Turning, Burning

Spinning, out of control

Who am I?

That you want to destroy all that I am …

Screaming, Fighting,

Dying, losing my life

Into the Abyss I will not go

From the Abyss I will not return

Who are you?

And what have you done to my Soul?

Searching, Changing,

Transforming, moving on

Who am I?

That you want to be my Soul Mate …

Feeling, Stretching,

Loving, coming home

Into the Abyss I must go

From the Abyss I must live

The moon will shine as bright as the sun, 

and the sun will shine seven times brighter than usual. 

It will be like the light of seven days all at once.

Isaiah 30:26b (CEV)

dragonflies in the silence

on the water's edge i sit

listening to the symphony of water

playing on the pond

breathe, just breathe

time drifts away

floating on the gentle breeze

dragonflies come

keep company with me!

just be

you on your twig

me in my chair

sharing the silence we are

we simply are ...

... silence the mind ...

The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. 

The challenge is to silence the mind.

God's Word is in All Creation

God's Word is in All Creation

No creature has meaning

without the Word of God.

God's Word is in all creation, visible and invisible.

The word is living, being,

spirit, all verdant greening,

all creativity.

This Word flashes out in

every creature.

this is how the spirit is in

the flesh -- the Word is invisible from God.

~Poetry of Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179)

The only noise now was the rain ...

“The only noise now was the rain, 

Lakeview Methodist Conference Center

 pattering softly with the magnificent indifference of nature 

for the tangled passions of humans.”

~ Sherwood Smith

Life ... on the Path

Prayer Trail at Lakeview Methodist Conference Center near Palestine, TX

  In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, 

and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. 

Our life is a long and arduous quest after Truth.  

~Mahatma Gandhi

Late Afternoon HAIKU at the Wesley Center

spring lake silence shines
ripples kiss the rocky edge
bird reflects on life

Word for the Day by Gratefulness.org

The louder our world today is, 

the deeper God seems to remain in silence. 

Silence is the language of eternity; 

noise passes.
