IN SILENCE THERE IS NO AIR

IN SILENCE THERE IS NO AIR In silence there is no air, no wanting sound, no distraction to turn us away from God. Sound needs air in which to travel and be heard; meditation needs silence in which to sing love songs to the Eternal. Do not be afraid of inner silence; it is the spirit’s abode, its...

POWER OUTAGE AT 5:30 AM

POWER OUTAGE AT 5:30 AM The alarm clocks walked off their jobs this morning, on strike, not striking their appointed hours. Lights and radios and all else electrical honored the walkout, picket lines on power lines suddenly dead. Some people’s alarms sounded before the outage; others have other...

THE DESTINY OF ALL SOUND

THE DESTINY OF ALL SOUND There is a silence that is the destiny of all sound. There is a dawning that is the culmination of all nights. There is a living that is the birth of all life. There is a love that is the power of all loving. ©T. Patrick Berry Sign in to see full entry.

POETS AND GARDENERS

POETS AND GARDENERS A poet unlocks words like a gardener unlocks the soil, working life and living like a gardener preparing the ground for planting. But while the gardener waters and fertilizes what the work brings forth, the poet must do these things for the gift from which the poetry grows. ©T.... Sign in to see full entry.

BE A BLANK BOOK

BE A BLANK BOOK It doesn’t matter to the book what the Author writes and then erases. What book takes the pen and writes itself? What book quarrels with the Author, saying, “No, no! I do not approve of this! Write what I want written!” Rise before dawn and look at yourself - not in the artificial... Sign in to see full entry.

AN ADMONITION TO POETS

AN ADMONITION TO POETS Do not forget that you are a poet. Poetry is the paper upon which your life is written. It is every door you open, every window you see through. If you forget poetry, do not complain when no window or door opens for you, leaving you trapped inside yourself with nothing but the... Sign in to see full entry.

GO

GO Go to that within place of light beyond seeing, of hearing beyond sound. Go to that world reached by no journey but the soul’s quest for God, that eternal now of joy, never-shrouded daybreak, where light is living and we are naught but light. Go to that place beyond church and learning, beyond... Sign in to see full entry.

THE HAND THAT GUIDES THE FISH

THE HAND THAT GUIDES THE FISH The fish follows its lifepath to the dam and is stymied. It thrashes the water, attempts to jump the barrier only to fall far short. More and more fish join it, all milling about, bewildered while the heron approaches and the fishermen gather on the shore. The hand that... Sign in to see full entry.

THIS NOW

THIS NOW This now is now only once – then is memory. Each now bears something for you - a gift, a treasure, a new grace, an embryonic memory. You may not know it, but you know these nows; the memories that await birth were conceived through all the potential lying hidden in you. A thousand nows... Sign in to see full entry.

AFFIRMATION TO OVERCOME WRITER’S BLOCK

AFFIRMATION TO OVERCOME WRITER’S BLOCK When this fog shall lift and sunlight seeing comes again these mornings full of closed-eye grayness shall glow with colors of the waking day and night shall sing her stars. ©T. Patrick Berry Sign in to see full entry.
