Good-bye 2020

May this new year

Show the fruit of what we have learned

from the troubles and sorrows of the passing year

How we need each other

Always have, but somehow

Lost sight of our connection

To each other

To our earth home

To our heaven coming down home

May the fire 

The flood

The hurricane force winds

The pandemic

Be used 

To strengthen and straighten the bent and broken

Places in our hearts 

To repair and renew 

The moral compass

of all, including

The powers that rule

The powers that have crushed

The powers arising

Replacing the old

Bringing the new

Until, until

“The kingdom of this world 

becomes the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ” *

How long 

How long

How we long for that day

New Year 2014

Resolution

Just to live each day in the light it comes

Hunting for the treasures

sparkling in their not so hidden places

delighting to be found.

 

A New Day, A New Year

Morning by morning

earth life is renewed

Thanksgiving for sleep giving

new perspective in a new brighter light

Thanksgiving for second chances again and again

for lifelong learning of how to live grace filled.

Last year’s slips and slides

can be my teachers

to grasp hand, rope or ladder extended

to pull me out of self-inflicted

muddles and messes

A gracious life begins with

receiving it for myself

then the transfer of giving it away

to others is smooth as silk

gentle as a dove.
