" I am sustained by the Love of God "

Here is the answer to every problem that confronts you today and tomorrow and throughout time. In this world, you believe you are sustained by everything but God. Your faith is placed in the most trivial and insane symbols; pills, money, “protective” clothing, “influence,” “prestige,” being liked, knowing the “right” people, and an endless list of forms of nothingness which you endow with magical powers......."

The Clearing

A night full of talking that hurts,
my worst held - back secrets: everything
has to do with loving and not loving.

This night will pass.
Then we have work to do.

.......On Jesus

I called through your door,
"The mystics are gathering
in the street. Come out!"

"Leave me alone.
I'm sick."

"I don't care if you're dead!
Jesus is here, and he wants
to resurrect somebody!"

The Book of Love

Drumsound rises on the air,
its throb, my heart.

A voice inside the beat says,
"I know you are tired,
but come, this is the way."
