     back then so young...but seniors now are we;
and here are friends I view with tearful eye, 
     yet thankful some are still left here with me.

Joy and Sorrow
Are the two companions
Acompny each other in life
For after sorrow comes joy.

Sorrow makes us near to God
And we feel that we are sacred
It is the test of life
That we can trust and love others
That we are but a single soul
Sorrow is indeed a...

JOY AND SORROW*



Joy and sorrow,
Over 
The tempestuous seas of  
Tears,
Endlessly navigate!

A similar question would be
“Who is Jesus for you?”
It’s a question none of us can afford to ignore
Because our answer will affect our levels of 
Peace and Joy
Even influenced the outcome of what we do
Many years ago
A retreat master said
“Never forget that Jesus is interested...

Sorrow
Laughs with Joy’s

Held in hands, gently
like a butterfly
A dream of reality
A hope for the future
A glint of joy
of happiness

But as hands are opened
and thee fae fly away
The dream dissolve
the future becomes
the past
The happiness dies away

Do not feel sorrow
do not weep,
be strong.
This happiness
is not wrong
this joy is not...

Self..but it is all

The same self..

Yet it is not the

Self we thought..

The self appears

Despair that pulls me down like gravity 
(like a black hole that eats up all matter) 
and leaves behind a hollow cavity: 
O God! My void's so great I'll just shatter!

this giant hole in my sad, shipwrecked...

In Hades flows a Stygian river 
of sorrows—a river of great despair!
It's a spiritual death that we all share
that napalms our lives and rots our liver.
Beware! Its undercurrent of dire doom
drowns us with heartless joy—it does not care,
and burdens us with more than we can...

Our psyches form an eerie mood;
we hold the fearful, bated breath
(the melancholy that makes us brood).
We smell the scent of gloom's despair; 
we feel the menace of sudden death: 
how broken we just are to care!

Thank God for him, the heaven's Lord;
our fight with misery...

My father 
   died 4 years ago 
           He was a

   and the music of Debussy 
        flowed from his fingers

Let the sorrows be so much that you stop feeling the sorrows
Let the distances be so much that there is no need to distance more
Let silence be your best friend that there is no need for justifications
Let regrets die a natural death in this melee...
