Bad mornings

Even when bad mornings come
the old Austrian pine still holds the rising sun
dying branches still lift the light

Goddess in training

I give birth from my losses:
From the emptiness, creation

Obedience school for the soul

Obedience school
Not just for dogs
if we don’t attend this school
soul wanders streets in disarray
biting friends, barking all night

Finding the anchor

I want to tell you something, says the Lord
it is something you need and so it is something I give:

The winds push clouds this way and that
the clouds have no anchor
but the clouds fall to the earth, which is an anchor

Listen: Sometimes you need to transform in order to receive your anchor
become the clouds within the earth
transform

My deepest story fulfilled

I am the paper
God the storyteller
who writes upon me:
When I am blank, God writes as God wishes
When I am already filled, hard for God to add God’s story
which is my deepest story fulfilled

The difference between journeying and wandering

When you let ego lead
you think you are journeying
when you actually are wandering

The gentle role model

Just as I am always for you, says the Lord
be always for yourself

How long it has taken you to believe the first!
How long it will take you to do the second!

Not to worry, my love
Infinity is infinite
I am always patient
how I love you

In the sea of storm

Praise, heavy anchor
dropping in the sea of storm

What will lead you

For at this moment, you know in your essence that you are not alone
the essence of you returns to the essence of me
returns to the essence of everywhere
returns to omnipresence
you are saturated with presence, dear one
return to truth
your anxiety will not lead you to truth;
your spirit will

The empty alleluia

The geese are gone
Ducks, too
The sky empties of sound
except the alleluia, which rings out
