Tonight nature was a bouquet from my Lord.
Just as a lady finds joy in the gift of flowers from her suitor,
So do I find bliss on those days when the world blooms for me.

What Kind of God
God is so great,
So very meticulous in His timing:
Today I had an unusual afternoon craving for ice cream,
It seemed as if it shouldn't wait so I went outside to the store across the street to get some.
Sitting on a bench in front of the store was a woman with a box of ice cream sandwiches.
She was giving them away because it was a hot day and she didn't need the whole box she'd just bought.
The minute I had a desire was the same minute that a stranger's heart was inspired to buy a box of ice cream and distribute it to passerbys.
What kind of God is this that we have?!
He, who remembers and appeases the afternoon cravings of one girl, in one city, of this huge planet!

Heretical Innovations
Be a heretical innovator, I told my friend,
Speak of God and love like the poets used to!
And bring people back to real religion.

Spiritual Charisma
Charisma used for spiritual recruitment is greatness and grace.
Unity among people creates the utmost peace.

Irrevocable Compassion
I've met with a Divine Assembly
And upon my request
An honorable exemption had been passed:
For all those who find the extremes of religious edicts to be unbearable
Due to age, illness, or weakness of physical or emotional constitution,
They are required to do only what is reasonably within their capacities
Of fasting, praying, meditating, and charitable acts.
The ruling in their favor will be irrevocably compassionate.
I will be forever at the right hand of the King to ensure this.

To Know The Most Generous One
My last deeply sincere prayer was this:
To rehearse and remember God's favors to me,
To such an extent that I know His extreme, overflowing, unreserved, unending, generosity,
So that I know Him better.
Then, that I become such Generosity myself.

The Angels on my Shoulders
As if in conversation with the angels on my shoulders,
Periodically I check in with myself:
What was the last sincere prayer that I prayed?
What was the last kind deed that I did?
It is good to keep account of oneself.
