Tearful Christmas memory - in 2004 my family was adopted by the Cancer Radiology clinic near where we lived. The kids were 15, 12, and 8 that year. At the time it didn't seem like such a big deal, and then it soaked in, these people treat lots of cancer patients and they are adopting my family! What do they think of our situation! But we did manage to make Christmas 2005 too!
And I am most thankful for the year 2005.

Maybe this Christmas we should pray for those who have been "adopted" during the holidays.

Sharing with You

When it comes to happy times,
we've shared them,
special moments,
got those too,

And partaking life at its
absolute unexceedable best,
downright unbeatable this
sharing with You.

Footnote: And yes, I mean you, you are reading this correctly,
it means you :) so you got it, right?!

Love Letter No 29 - Succinct Love

Dear N,

You are looking lovely tonight.

Let's sit side by side.

Would you like a glass of white or red?

That sweater is perfect with your eyes.

Something in your voice calls to me.

I'm fine baby, how are you?

I believe in you.

L

PS: I love you

a verse for each word

My list of 5:

What can you do with these?


1. solitude
2. growth
3. wisdom
4. imagination
5. transformation

--------
here goes... a verse for each word...

---------------

to look up and feel lost, alone or undone
drives home solitude making a difference
for the kindness within solitude reminds
that absence is full of sweet presence
to look up and feel lost, alone or undone

to winter the season of despair or great loss
allows dormant juices to gather for flow
where leaves once blew away growth arrives
with leaves, buds, flowers, fruit that thrives
to winter the season of despair or great loss

to watch as a child makes a mess of a chance
prompts recollection of self made circumstance
choices in hindsight show wisdom at play
look back and determine if wisdom came each day
to watch as a child makes a mess of a chance

concrete ideas seem a permanent barrier
thoughts overcome concentration gathers
then blocks are moved in imagination's wake
step back and let the mind work for your sake
concrete ideas seem a permanent barrier

stuck in a posture bringing cramp and pain
beginning with grace to uncover change
we are promised transformation as heirs
of faith in the Transformer that cares
stuck in a posture bringing cramp and pain

divine conspiracy

Life is a
transcendental
experience
allowing each
person to fully
engage as a
participant in
divine conspiracy.
~o'hOgain

the process

incredible describes the process, a molecule formed
then gathering with more of its own drops gain potential
ultimately falling to grass, glade, trees, earth to pool
releasing gravity's energy gain in mass they glide and form
creasing clay surface with the signature of primal presence

incredible describes the process, connection formed
then gathering grace emotions gain potential
ultimately expressing in voice, sight, touch, tender charm
releasing gracious energy of the encounter as they form
creasing human clay with the signature of primal presence
