GETTING OLDER
wearing back packs - but it helps
if they carry with them patience,
laughter, their glasses and their
hearing aids - plus a smile.
Faith, hope and charity ought
to be packed into their outlook -
along with the ability to tell only
one story a time - because the
older we get, the more we got. Amen.

NON-STOP OCEAN
The ocean is non-stop –
constant – sliding into
and onto our beach.
Sometimes the waves
are pounding, pushing,
jumping, leaping at us.
Sometimes all is calm:
the slow slide of waves –
calming moving in and out.
The ocean – does it ever
get a chance to say to God,
“Is this the way you want it?”
Or does God say, “Just do it.
Surprise all of us. Whatever,
but make it all interesting.”

WHO SAID?
Who said you can’t make mistakes? Who said you can’t forgive? Who said you can’t say, “I don’t know.” Who said you can’t say, “Let me think about that?” Who said you can’t recover? Who said you can’t begin again? Who said you can’t say, “Who said?”

GOOD THING HE WASN’T
MURDERED
or see in the newspapers that
someone was murdered, I say,
“No!” When I see scenes of
the Nazi concentration camps
being opened, I reflect on
Victor Emil Frankel who survived.
to search for meaning. He
taught us about the need to
want to continue – to know
there are people waiting for
me – that we have a why and
any how to proclaim it counts.
