NOTHING
Nothing
exists.
It’s
what’s missing.
It’s
what I wish was here,
but
it’s not.
I
feel nothing.
That
proves it exists.
I
have a place for it,
if
and when I get it.
In
the meantime,
I’ll
try anything –
sometimes
something –
but
I know nothing,
Hold
on, I know something:
I
now know why mystics
say
God is nothing because
you
can never quite get God.

Quote for Today
"Time is
Too slow for those who wait,
Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,
Too short for those who rejoice;
But for those who love,
Time is eternity."
Henry Van Dyke (1852-1933)
read at the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales,
Nigel Rees in "Quote ... Unquote" 1997
notes that the original form of the last line
is "Time is not".

BLESSINGS OF LIGHT
Flashlight
light sneaks into every
spot
it can get into in the night.
It
simply and quietly does that
every
chance it gets – showing
everything
in its view – wherever
it’s
pointed – wherever it looks.
Well,
that’s the way I hope grace
works
for you – that you spot your
blessings
– that you see the good
will
of your friends towards you –
that
you realize God is Light and
I’m
hoping you receive this insight.
