Thought for the Day

 

“An invasion of armies can be resisted,  but not an idea whose time has come.”

Victor Hess

THE OCEAN 

The ocean was simply being ocean.
Wave after wave after wave after wave
kept moving steadily and regularly toward
the shore.  I did what everyone does:
I walked down to the edge of the water.
I stood there and looked and listened.
Without words – without thought –
I connected with everyone who has
done this same Holy Communion since
the beginning of time and eternity. Amen.

“The kind of humor I like is the thing that makes me laugh for five seconds and think for ten minutes.”

THERE  IN  A TOY BOX
 
There is a toy box
with wooden blocks
of letters – dozens
and dozens of them.

 
At first, I put together
a few words: house,
tree, meow, help,
God, whisper, hello.

 
Should I go on?
Perhaps a poem
will appear or a
story or an adventure.

 
Who knows what’s
just sitting there 
resting or sleeping
in the toy box of my mind.
