Looking through the glass,
Gazing into darkness,
Consumed with longing.

Then, being gone.
Emptiness? Void?
Suspended within Infinity.
Missing self.

Glimpse of light and song
As the door closes
Kingdom!

Bleeding continuously,
Until one day
The pain wakes
In Peace.

All co-create with God; the beauty that arises from within.

Radiating from passing windshields
Is a beam of brilliant blue light.
More bright than I have ever seen!
Watching for miles, I am puzzled
No passing vehicle is without.

Inquiring of the passenger, “Do you see?”
They notice nothing unusual.
How can that be? So radiant it almost blinds.
Good thing I have on these new sunglasses,
With a special filter, OH………

I think of myself as the
Watcher of the Lighthouse.
I keep crying out, “Right there.”
God is within that thought, that moment.
I write hoping others catch a glimpse.

Each of us has a true self, within.
An amazing connection
Uniting us with God and the universe.
Everything shares HIS radiant glory.
Until others find their songlasses, I will keep pointing.

*We are the temple of the living God;
as he said, “I will live in them and move among them,
I will be their God and they will be my people.” Corinthians 6:16

The kittens were being devoured by coyotes.
Brought the last four to safety and love.
The neighbors wild duck
Hatched thirteen precious ducklings.
The kittens hunted them, endlessly.

God created them all.
They are  each precious in His sight.
Can one be sacred, the other profane?
God loves all aspects of each of their behaviors.
Gives me confidence, He can love mine.

"Creation is the primary and most perfect revelation of the divine."

"God remains in immediate sustaining attentiveness to everything that exists, precisely in its 'thisness'."
