A poem… “My Neighbor”

Tuesday, October 20, 2009

You were my most perfect neighbor Always there when I knocked on your door Ready to lend me whatever my need “as a gift” you’d say and I would return for your kind love even more Frightened me to think you might move away some day the many nights we spent… in conversation… in silence weeks, months, years… many, many passed your [...]

I received a wonderful message from a gentleman after the posting of my blog on Grace. In it he said, “I have a question for you, it is easy to feel Grace once or maybe twice, but what is the mantra to enjoy it continuously?” I’d like to answer this question here, drawing from my own [...]

Wowwww! What grace filled morning moments I just experienced! Just have to share it with you… kinda wish I had video and audio footage of the movie-like experience I was just the center of giving attention to… Sitting, reading a book on a step in the midst of front yard splendor, I noticed movement and [...]

Are you valuable?

Value– what an incredibly valuable word it is as a verb, and a shallow representation of its true essence as a noun. I have started to consciously adore and really embrace this verb, this act. It presents me with a box of priceless goodies. A big box of gifts in the corner of a cozy [...]
