SOMETIMES

 
Sometimes we need to silence
the words and bugle the music
that needs to burst from our heart.
Sometimes we need to pray the
music that is playing from within.
God is here. Listen to God’s sounds.

Thought for the Day

 

“I like the silent church before the service begins better than any preaching.”

WHAT  I   WANT

 

Sometimes I know what I want….

 

It’s then I inwardly brag about being

smart because I know what I want.

 

When I don’t know what I want – I

brag inwardly about being so discerning.

 

I know how to hesitate – holding the

menu – so as to be the last to order.

 

I can ask about wines and just what if

they have Thai rice vermicelli – with curry.

 

And most of the time I’m in the middle –

really not that sure about a lot of things.

 

Then again, sometimes I don’t know what I want.

Thought for the Day

“When kindness has left people, even for a few moments, we become afraid of them as if their reason has left them.”

 

Willa Cather,

My Mortal Enemy, 1926

SELF  DESTRUCTION

 
Why is it that people
hurt themselves?
 
Why do they make crowns
of thorns and then wear them?
 
Why do people self destruct
and hurt themselves each day?

Why do we waste so much of

our days as well as our lives?

Thought for the Day

“The great thing in life is to be simple and the perfectly simple thing is to look through keyholes.” 

 George Bernard Shaw, 

Great Catherine, 1918

SILENCE

 
Silence sometimes works –
between husbands and wives –
between office workers – and
sometimes between athletes.
 
Yelling doesn’t work –
between people not liking
how the other is treating
them – so go for silence.
 

When weeks pass by – it’s then
people will know where others stand - 
who's right - who’s wrong - and
who needs to say, "I'm sorry!"
