  • Reaching Conclusions

    from a journal entry. . . . . (I wrote this journal entry 9 months after I had gone into cardiac arrest twice.  It was written February 02, 1994.  There has been no editing.  ) I think I have come to some conclusions.  Many of them are so simple and primary that I wonder why…

  • Morning Prayer

    Morning Prayer Pray the dawn into morning. Let the cool winds blow across the hot, dry lands and let the rains pour as if through the eyes of angels who stand guard. We will make this land green again and feed the minds of children too long idle and as farmers feed the bellies of…

  • A Morning’s View

    a mind’s wanderings. . . . .   One man’s highest desire need not be an others’.  And if one’s highest desire is to survive,  then reincarnation is one’s only alternative no matter what world.                                          ***** When one is painfully aware of life’s brevity, others then tend  to shy away from any intimation of…

  • Coming To The Altar

    The Teachers Speak. . . . What is suppressed is what we are most afraid of and fear carries a sub label of secretive which must go along with the word afraid. Even in today’s world of reality shows,  there are still those who carry their fears close to the chest.  And often do not…

  • Staff Of Life

    Staff Of Life Unsteady on his legs, I watched my then toddler grandson bend down and pick up his book.  In one motion, he touched the book to his lips. In another time, when I was young, I saw his great grandfather move with just such a motion to pick up a piece of bread…

  • Intensity Of Purpose

    Intensity of Purpose One of the first unhappy side effects of the medications taken for my cardiac problem was that it took away my morning exuberance that had me thrusting my feet to the floor all the days of my life till then.  (yes,  I am grateful they have kept me breathing!)  But without my…

  • Times Such As These

    We are told that hearing you will hear and not understand and seeing you will see and not perceive.  Simple words meaning simple things?  But of course you see and of course you hear unless physical impairments prevent us.  But it is even more than that.  In the process there are the cries in crisis…
