Faith

The friends of Faith are Patience & Perseverance.
Flanked she walks, hand~in~hand with them both.


Faith is not troubled by time
But sits by it like a man cooling his feet in the river.
Let's sit with him for a while
Until the stream washes the tiredness from our feet
And we are renewed for the journey.

Prayer Candle...

The flame speaks
Dancing between worlds
Never the same way twice
Proclaiming its message
Brighter than loud;
"Your light is your gift.
Above all endeavors
By your light,
In the end,
Shall you be measured."

Between Worlds

My sigh lifts the veil
And naked, my soul parts the darkness
Between the particles of here and now.

It is always there.
The beyond is so close,
It is even inside us.
Its exact reach is
Almost ~ almost.

With eyes closed, I peer.
Deaf to the world, I listen.
And with breath stilled,
I feel the presence of the unbreathing.
~Sometimes it is a loved one, gone beyond.
Sometimes it is the great resonance
Of the collective consciousness.
Sometimes it is the perfect understanding
Of the Divine Witness.

It is so close...
In between the particles of here & now,
In the stillness underneath our breath,
Right in front of the eyes, when closed,
In the silence just beyond
The hearing of ordinary sounds,
And between the worlds
Of sleeping and waking,
It is there...

Can you feel it?
