The road ahead: a spirituality of openness

When God calls you to a spirituality of openness, it sounds nice
but lived out, it requires dismantling all the walls that protect you
and walking into true protection

not only will it grow, but it will turn on you
as is its nature

Follow your nose

Your soul has a nose
finely attuned to the fragrance of God
for like a woman she passes,
trailing behind her heady imaginations

Prayer of release

I do not need more control
you have given me enough,
and for that which I cannot control
another prayer rises
as I let go of what does not belong to me

is not insignificant –
dense anchor

The power of humility’s absence

Forgiving while still carrying self-righteous indignation
is not forgiveness
and nor will you heal

Entertaining thoughts

You have no control over what thoughts knock on your door
but it is only you who opens

Incredible strength

It takes incredible strength
to plan without grasping

Some of them lead you astray
some of them are the path
