The Joy of Living in Light
Before God said, “Let there be light!” and there was light, God was. And Jesus was: Light of the world, uncreated light that was, and is, and is to come. Within the new Jerusalemno other light will shine,for he will reign, and dayand night (light undulating) will be redefined. Foreverwill be lit another way.And IContinue reading “The Joy of Living in Light”
Peace, Good Will! And Yet . . .
The angels sang of peace. And yet I struggle to remember what seems so elementary: peace has its source in you, the Prince of Peace. Peace seems to be the theme song ofa mocking bird,just borrowedand played back,called out in blandirrelevance, mere words.Where is good willwhen wars devourthe planet? Evenin your Bodycruel manipulationsof the truthContinue reading “Peace, Good Will! And Yet . . .”
When Peace is Elusive
We yearn for peace but turn away from the one certain source that will not die, a fifth dimension of hope that is founded on truth.It is transparent reality, not wishful thinking, but cannot be seen by cataract-laced eyes;it is only even partly known by those committed to the Great Beyond while in the HereContinue reading “When Peace is Elusive”
Have I Peaked?
Have I peaked? Have my green leaves turned golden red, moving toward brown when my strong stems go limp and lose their grip, break loose and fall to earth?

Like the Air that I Breathe
So much sharpness in the world today: bare tree branches that pierce the sky like forked lightning, zebu* horns poking the air like staples, headless palms erect as straight pins. Hawk wings slice the atmosphere, machetes crack through vines, bike spokes whirr. Even the blades of grass have a cutting edge. If air were solidContinue reading “Like the Air that I Breathe”
Lemon Lesson
Lemon leaves bush the tree, newborn limbs reaching out pushing past the older ones. I pull one of them sideways, wondering if there might be a round ripe lemon waiting for me. Deep in the forest of varied greens I catch sight of gold—then suddenly I see plump balls clustered together, hanging out in camouflage,Continue reading “Lemon Lesson”
