Thought for the Day
“God
speaks in the silence of the heart.
Listening is the beginning of prayer.”

WITH
THE RED HAIR
Does every person have the courage
of the girl with the red hair? Do I?
Do I have the courage to resist lies
and laziness and become a thinker?
Do I have the courage to put my life
on the line to save the lives of others?
Do I realize that the greatest love means
I am willing to lay down my life for others?
Do I realize every country can get sucked
into accepting big lies by the millions?

LEAF
A raspberry red leaf –
the only one – all others
still green in mid-October.
Why? Do you really
think
God is in on such a surprise?
Do you really think God is in
on the death of a grandmother
two doors down? I wonder
about these things – like the new
baby I saw in Macy’s today.
Yes – but I wonder about deaths.

Brass, bronze, platinum, gold, a
ring with some letters engraved on it –
a gift, given in a ceremony, an award,
a graduation, a marriage, recognition,
accomplishment, love, a “Thank you!”
Lost, found, forgotten, recovered,
several times in a lifetime – twisted,
turned, sacred, handed to a grandkid
at the time of death – received with
awe and “oooh” – a new, “Thank you!”
