a simple job actually…

socialism?
capitalism?
progressive or liberal?
perhaps, conservative?

drop the titles and judgments, friends.

the job is simple actually…
i’ll spell it out, from my heart.

clothe the poor
feed the hungry
and
give drink to the thirsty.

and if you still have room to complain or judge, think on these gems…

if someone hits you,
go ahead – turn the other cheek.
if someone asks for your coat,
hey – offer them your shirt as well.
get your walkin’ shoes ready,
cuz if the request is made – walk an extra mile.

i think these little nuggets of God’s heart will keep our lives busy enough…but then again, it is easier just to do what we’ve been doing isn’t it?

faces of God…

today new additions
arrived

a goldfish
and
two hermit crabs

“kermit crabs”
from the mouth of my nephew

so now we have ~
a tortoise…named Turtle
a cat
three dogs
two kermit crabs
and a goldfish

not to forget
the family of humming birds
attending to the feeder
out back

or the many
many spiders who have
apparently
decided living with humans
is
the choicest of habitats

i love it!

all these faces of God
for my nephew
to learn to love

it is good…

beneath this blanket
of night

below countless suns
i stand in your Presence

thoughtless
motionless

we arrive
together
meeting, perhaps
as we always
have

in Love

filled with Life
i stand

knowing nothing

in perfect stillness
in a harmonic dance
with Peace

and my voice
joins with Yours
as we sing

“it is good”
