  1. pause. stop. find stillness. touch sky, river, touch wind, touch earth. gather quietness, gather spirit, freedom, life. breathe again.
  2. So much depends upon a video glazed with rain water beside the white chickens. http://voiceofthevoiceless.... you know, we used to march.
  3. the ghosts that wander our past, the loves lost, the lives lived - and unlived. here we are, gathered into this moment, finding grace, love.
  4. sometimes we must forgive a time, a place, an institution. if not, a piece of our spirit is left there; our spirit has a torn place instead.
  5. a little song, a little dance, a little seltzer down your pants. no, it's not art, but it rhymes nicely, and i like how it makes me smile.

  15. Neda Agha-Soltan.
  16. riots in the streets, gunshots, death, revolution, freedom, oppression, ayatollah, democracy, anguish. but us? must we render Christ silent?
  17. day tires, evening draws in close, dreamless sleep hours off. in these quiet hours peace, stillness, solitude, from which all life springs.
  18. at three in the morning lost loves come calling. at three in the morning sorrow waits beside your chair. all the world repents in the night.
  19. last night i bathed a tiny, elderly woman, developmentally disabled, unable to care for herself. god was there. I will never be the same.
  20. night rain baptizes us in mystery, longing, calling. things we know, but can't say, can't quite name, carry us like a river to each new day.
