SIDEWAYS
Sometimes we figure it out
that the best way to approach
another is sideways – that is,
through the back or side door.
We know – just know – this is
the best way to go – to get to
where we want to go – but
going frontways – face to face –
just doesn’t work. Worse:
it’s the worse way to go.

DESCRIBE WHAT LOVE IS?
Tell me what love is like?
It's listening.
It's thinking of the other.
It's the cross.
It's putting the others first.
It's caring.
It's forgiving.
It's not taking the seat you want.
It's not always being frustrated.
It's not knowing and always going bonkers about that.
It's giving the uninteresting a call now and then.
It's knowing there is more than me.

It we
start talking to each other,
the
other or we ourselves will
tell
the other our disappointments.
This
takes time and the aging process.
We didn’t
finish a plan or a hope.
We
made a promise never done.
The
other might have died or
moved
away and that’s that.
Or we
could make a phone call
and make
a confession of
our
sins or broken promises
or we
can forgive others.
If we
get this we can get what
the
Catholic Church has in
the Sacrament
of Reconciliation
or “Going to Confession”.

GHOSTS
Of course there is no such thing as ghosts.
Yet the people of our past are still walking
with us. They are still whispering to us.
And if they yelled at us they still do
when we break their
rules for us.
Their presence –
their voices -
still sit there in our choices. Solution:
listen to those voices, analyze them,
accept the best and discard the rest.
Easier said than done.
Become our own person while we
still have time and talk to our children
about what we have figured out so far.
