RECOGNIZING STRANGERS

RECOGNIZING STRANGERS Perfect strangers come to me, recognizing me, saying they know me - but they never can recall from where. Little wonder! They have never seen me before, nor I them. They say, “Surely, you worked at...” or, “You’re related to..., aren’t you?” And I must always answer, “No.” We... Sign in to see full entry.

THESE TRUTHS

THESE TRUTHS These truths are a hand reaching through your walls of pain clarity parting your curtains of confusion a voice cutting away delusions like a scalpel sunlight pouring through the fleeing clouds of the soul-storm Jesus calms upon your sea. The poems that bear them are nothing, only a heap... Sign in to see full entry.

THE SHOPKEEPER

THE SHOPKEEPER The shopkeeper has given you the wrong sack, or so you think. You’ve paid for happiness, fulfillment, full measures of both, and you leave expecting to find them, neatly wrapped, in the sack you carry home. But when you open it, you find instead sorrows, fear, suffering, failure.... Sign in to see full entry.

A CHRISTIAN FRIEND VISITS ANANDA

A CHRISTIAN FRIEND VISITS ANANDA These people gave me the love of Christ, yet my friend is suspicious of them because they do not walk his path. He has lost his perspective. It is not the person’s path that matters so much as God being the path, because it is God - not us - who chooses the channels... Sign in to see full entry.

RIGIDITY OF SOUL

RIGIDITY OF SOUL You speak with such reasoned words, yet your soul cries wildly within you, singing inarticulate songs of longing that are audible to all time and space - everywhere, that is, except to you. You do not hear your yearnings; you do not even want to admit them because doing so would... Sign in to see full entry.

TWO GRACKLES CHASING A CROW

TWO GRACKLES CHASING A CROW A crow flies too close to a grackle’s nest. Like interceptors launched from a runway, the grackles rise quickly to defend their young.

JUST ANOTHER DAY

JUST ANOTHER DAY Memorial Day, 2002 Just another spring day for barbeques and picnics, sports, travel, mowing the grass, doing the laundry, sales and shopping, taking off work lamenting how busy we’ve become, taking our liberty for granted and, if we happen to think of it, for flying our flag, for...
