these torrents of rules taunt my rebellious bones
yet who among us has no challenges and trials…”

“if your heart is hurting—avoid the machines—
social media, pundits, politicos, reality TV
prophets who mold nations on indignations…”
A Path of Meekness
“humble—reverent spirits who suffer
for possessing soft and generous hearts
walk simple paths of mercy and grace…”
The Poor in Spirit

the forgotten blessings of attitudes
in authentic—broken souls like us…”
Every Creature
“God carved alabaster art out of dark space
a magnificent—reflective moon
to shine a standard of beauty and peace…”
Climate and Religion

Religious Climate
“learning to connect
God-given scientific minds
to devout hearts
is enlightening and brings
enduring joy and peace”
