Breathe in Light- Admission

All of the worldly titles don't matter now

It's your ability to breathe in light that gains you admission here.

Trust is Developed

Sometimes when you see no signs of Him anywhere,
That is the perfect time to strengthen your relationship,

Trust is developed in such circumstances.

The Thunder

Tonight I had one of those nights..

You know those beautiful nights;

When you're praying,
And the thunder roars at exactly the right moment,
And you know it's for you.

It's God saying Amen.

A Modern Day Psalm

Your knowledge, oh Lord,
Is greater than Wikipedia.
You hasten to bring me answers,
Like a speedy wifi connection
Or like Amazon's new one day delivery. 
 

Your sweetness God,
Is more delicious than GMO corn.
Your love,
Is like a thousand Valentine's days,
Without the calories from chocolate and excess commercialism.

God, You are as forgiving as our bodies
Which we stuff full of junk food, and bad habits,
But which continue to serve us unrelentingly for years.

Your wisdom God,
Is like Google... Infinite.

Your patience,
Is like drivers in rush hour traffic who choose not to honk.

Your kindness is those strangers that smile
And still open doors.

Your power is in the planes that carry us around the globe.

Your creativity is like the iPhone creators,
Never ceasing to produce new products.
 
Your planning is better than my GPS.

Your responsiveness is like phone help lines...
No, You do better than that!
(They're mostly outsourced abroad these days.)

So God, keep showing up in our world.
Dazzle us with Your light,
As brilliant as the sun.

This last metaphor is an oldie but a goodie.
After all, He does stay the same through the ages.

Fasting

Some ask about spiritual fasting,
It's about the heart, I say.

It's not so much about food
But it's about EVERYTHING else.

Love Has Been Writing

My friend taught me that powerful prayer changes destiny.
But Love has been writing my story all along,
So today I will just say Thank You.

Maybe tomorrow I will feel disgruntled,
And I'll have to send up a prayer with angels to fight for my fate
But somehow I feel like they already did.

Geomancy

Everything is geomancy (the mystical art of divination of truth from symbols).

Give Grace to the People

Tonight I'm really debating within myself,
Should I give up religion
For the sake of Truth?

It has been such a comfort for me,
That old time religion,
But what will be the best way
To give grace to the people in this time?

In the tradition of Rumi, and Hafiz, I present spiritual poetry that melts the mind and heart, opening them easily to Divine wisdom.

My Heart Breaks Open with Love

My heart breaks open with love,
As I see everyone as the vulnerable Christ child,
The divine in human form,
Needing love and protection.
