Excerpts From the Compilation Prayer, Number 12, Trust
Excerpts from the compilation: “Prayer”
number 12. Trust
I wish for us, the practice of Trust,
Especially in the moments
when we only experience
Things that seem to be harsh, cruel, unfair and unjust,.
And when we don’t understand
And say:
“Why now? Why me? Why us?”
Especially when the smell of decay, disease and death
Seems to be

Excerpts From the Compilation Prayer, 13, Connected and Gratitude
Excerpts from the compilation, “Prayer” 13.
Connected! and Gratitude.
I wish that we can really, deeply understand
That we ARE Connected!
And Inextricably Dependant on each other,

It is harder to forget to appreciate and thank
The foreign and anonymous toilet cleaner in the station,
Or the far away, underpaid, undernourished Factory worker
(In places with names we can’t

Excerpts from the compilation: “Prayer” 9,
Serenity
I wish that we can practice and experience Serenity
And be aware
Of our unresolved hurts, fears, anger
And triggers.
And see how they create separation and walls
And cause deep pain and sorrow
To ourselves and to those who we would actually,
really, love to be close to.
And also that we are aware
That we are

Time for our Elders
I wish that we take Time for our Elders,
Even before some of them slowly slip away.

Of some of the ineffective, inappropriate and unsuitable
Beliefs and lessons that they received
And passed on to us.

Excerpt from the compilation: “Prayer” – 3:
Friendliness, Kindness
I wish that we can know Friendliness
And gentle Kindness for ourselves,
Especially in the moments
when no one seems to care,
And the hordes of look-down, or look-away eyes
Incomprehensible actions and reactions,
Piercing comments and numbing judgements,
Seem more painful than sticks and stones.
Exactly in these difficult and

Excerpt From the Compilation Prayer, Number 1, Laughter
Excerpts from the compilation: “Prayer” - 1 Laughter
I wish that our joy-filled Laughter
Could completely rattle and shake
the apparently impenetrable walls of our castles,
So deep and complete,
That it blows out the rusty nails, bars and broken shutters,
So that the sunlight pours in
And warms our shivering bones
And melts the still frozen places
in our chests,

I wish that the healing balsam of our Tears
Create streams

And cleanse and sooth our pain.
And the streams become great rivers
that carry away our antique, obsolete
and borrowed suffering and collected debris
of old fears and doubts,
far out

Many of my favorite poems
How About This for Veterans Day
A monthly Monday morning military meeting
Would be great for them as way of greeting
Talking about things happening another day
Of past successes and prices they had to pay.
Enlisted Term of Service (ETS) had expired
Veterans honorably left service or retired
And here a home they all have selected
Exist in
