DRIFTWOOD

“driftwood” - I would never have put
those two words together - till I saw
a piece of driftwood - that had drifted
onto shore - all alone after - well I don’t
know how long you have had drifted out to sea.

Thought for today:

“We dance round in a ring and suppose, / 
But the Secret sits in the middle and knows.”

DROP  OUT

[Luke 15: 11-32
The Story of the
Prodigal Son]


Looking back now, 
it was the best thing
that ever happened to me.

But back then,
it was a disaster.
Didn’t you ever fall on your face?

Wandering the streets
alone … puzzled …
rejected … a drop out.

Then the decision
to get out of the Pig Pen
and go back home ….

It was a selfish move.
It was a survival move.
It was a smart move.

My brother …. now he has
another story. Some day I hope
he’ll make my move to come home.

Thought for today: 


“When we understand, we are at the center of the circle, and there we sit while YES and NO chase each other around the circumference.”

THREE  WORD  SPEECH EXERCISES

[Using a rosary, or if you prefer haphazard, calmly and clearly, practice saying one of these 3 word short sentences each day, till they are yours.]

I was wrong.
I hurt  you.
I need you.
I am sorry.
I forgive you.
I thank you.
I like you.
I love you.
