A  GLASS OF WATER 

It’s great when it’s cold.
It’s wonderful  when I’m thirsty.
It’s a blessing when the other says, “Thank you!”
It’s neat when it evokes “Perfect!” sounds.
It’s been around since the beginning.
It’s a free gift 7 times a day.
It shows God’s sheer imagination.

ROSARY  MYSTERIES

  

It’s never that simple: life.
 
There are mysteries.
 
It’s never black and white.
 
There are shades and differences.
 
It’s never simple.
 
There are decades of nexts.
 
Annunciations and assumptions.
 
Presentations and findings.
 
Ascensions and decensions.
 
Births and weddings.
 
Deaths and births.
 
And back and around the mysteries again and again.

WE’VE  GOT  A  PROBLEM

 
We’ve got a problem: spending
billions and billions for bombs
and weapons compared to what
we pay for bridges and better jobs
for the poor and under-employed.
 
We got a problem: a whole
political party marching in
lock step with a person of lies.
And you can’t talk with them.
You just can’t talk with them.
 
We got a problem. People throw
distraction after distraction back
at those who speak the truth -
truth that could set us free – and
sometimes throw in a nasty as well.
