This life is more than it seems,
we know.
More than these mortal bodies.
More than the eye can see,
the ear can hear,
we’ve been told.
Follow the path
ahead of you.
When all seems blocked
or obscured –
wait.
Revelation will come,
light will shine,
a voice will speak,
or cloud will surround
and open the way
for you to go.
Transformation
or Transfiguration
will expand
your heart and life
to carry more
love and glory.

It was all there
down at the beach today
we were hushed and in awe
at the glory in the rain
and in the sun
glory in the forest
and in the sea
glory in the fresh air
filling our lungs
in the wind
sweeping by
glory in the bright blue sky
and the deep dark clouds
glory in the walking
glory in the heron
chased into flight
by a pair of labs
glory in our pup
running back and forth
and glory
in the bald eagle
swooping near

Earth Groans
Shakes and foams
Volcanoes spew
Oceans roar
Fire consumes
Chaos in the clouds
Bring destruction
To the land
Why this groaning
This upheaval
When will it cease
And subside
Another kind
Of shaking
A groaning
A fire inside
Each one of us
Is in the making
The treasure in us
Is being
Tried and tested
Extracted
From the clay
Together with creation
There will be a
Revealing
An uncovering of the glory
