Silencio

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 05:52:43 -0500

The celebratory silent night of but what seems a blink ago recedes religiously as the truer silent night of suffering, sacrificial love of oozing self-emptying, of undying -- wait -- no, of dying passion settles anew upon our faithful ritual of remembrance. Shadows will be present, then be snuffed out. Silencio will saturate ev... Read More

Not the Whole Pot Again!

Fri, 08 Feb 2008 12:40:45 -0600

Lord, could you kindly calm my caffeinated, hurried heart? It's pulsing in the back of my neck! And pushing me on this holy trek! Could you, Lord, could you kindly ... un-brew my brain? Decaffeinate my soul? ... Read More

Just, Must

Fri, 08 Feb 2008 12:34:03 -0600

Today I must, just be. Unconcerned with pull of plot, who I am, who I'm not. I must, just be. Inattentive to tick and tock, of calls, computers, constant clock. Must, just be. Oblivious to being bright and bold, only barefooted and bare-souled. Just be. Present in pause with pregnant heart, is how I cease, how I start. ... Read More

Early Morn at Esther's

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 07:46:15 -0600

Eating artery cloggers here at Edith's on a life frozen day here in Lebanon. My mastication is a meditation. The morning light makes me ever more aware ... I am ... addicted to surviving. I just keep cooking. My soul pilot-light does not ever dim; for my soul pilot is Christ. And still ... this heart attack, this habitual... Read More

Cold Progress

Sun, 25 Nov 2007 07:37:02 -0600

Began with whisper soft spider steps dancing in my throat. Grew to scraping spider slides, same dance floor. Before long, the feeling of weeping arachnids filled my nose. Bless you, bless you, bless you ... Now, somehow, a tarantula is lodged in my chest ... cramped ... causing sleeplessness and the unsettled bewilderment ... ... Read More

The Scent

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 13:38:31 -0600

The sense of the scent triggered a strong memory of sadder times in adolescence. Organic, grief-stricken, lost myself in the air as if I somehow wafted back through air and hours and years. In a split-second, I returned, feeling older, wiser? Grateful.... Read More

Pile & Pounce

Sat, 10 Nov 2007 08:21:19 -0600

The crisp-brown clutter all over the yard. What to do? Pile it up! Pounce upon it! Don't just capture it 'neath metal wire and in the camera lense ... Don't just give the go for the younger ones ... Get in there! Piles are for pouncing.... Read More

Bubble

Fri, 09 Nov 2007 16:01:38 -0600

The Spirit sighs, a new bubble is born and I within it. Fragile, fluid, floating refractor of Light. I am safe in here, though the air often has an air of alone ... wait, perhaps a better word ... solitude.... Read More

Outage

Tue, 06 Nov 2007 07:27:31 -0600

Early morning outage alerted sleeping children to the deep darkness, the noiseless space, the eerie cocoon of their sleep. Wimpering, shuffling, finding the security blankets of mom and dad soon followed, along with hours more of sniffling, squirming, and copious amounts of "What time is it?" Soggy day now, though power is back o... Read More
