“The thief comes only to steal, 
to kill and to destroy.  
I have come that they might have life. 
and have it to the fullest.”

MORNING  FLIGHT

 
Every morning –
one of the first things I do -
is look out at the ocean –
and stand there – sometimes
it’s a long waiting – till
I see a bird - awake long
before me – flying above
the waves – searching for
its breakfast – and me –
I just have to grab a bowl –
some Cheerios and Raisin Bran –
and milk – and be eating in less
than a minute. I ask myself,
“Who has it better?”
Lucky bird.
I can’t fly – but I can look.

MASS BELIEF

 
We / I stand at the altar –
praying with
bread and wine –
both on and in gold –
slowly becoming
the body and blood of Christ –
making – creating – being
this amazing act of faith –
and hope – and charity.
 
We / I walk the streets –
work our jobs –
live in our families –
play in our parks –
gracefully becoming –
the body and blood of Christ -
making – creating – being
this amazing act of faith –
and hope – and charity.

SELF-PORTRAIT

 

If you were a painter
and you could paint
your self-portrait,
what would it look like?
 
At what age would you picture yourself?
 
What would you be wearing?
 
What would be the background?
 
Would you have anything in hand?
 
Would it be just you?
 
Would one color stand out?
 
Would you want to tell a story?

What would that story be?
 
If you were a painter
and you could paint
your self-portrait,
where would you hang that picture?
