and my soul cannot stand my fight. Continue reading “Persistance (2/8/2026)”
Death (1/25/2026)
How long do you think you can escape death
by watching the purple color of the Judas tree, by listening to the sound of the organ?
Look and see: They’re pulling and dragging you away,
Although really, we are returning to Him. Continue reading “Death (1/25/2026)”
From Out of That Silence (1/11/2026)
I merged so completely with Love, was so fused with Love
that I became Love and Love became me.

If They Reach You… (12/28/2025)
If the rose with its beauty and the jasmine with its fine three petals

come, if for only one moment.
Give us our blessing,
that moment which has been cleaned of everything, including cleanness.
How long must we wait for that unique moment? Continue reading “How Long Must We Wait? (10/19/2025)”
