In the wild breath of Alaska, where the wind carries the scent of pine and salt, a monk walks alone, cloth worn thin by the weight of prayer and cold. Herman, they call him — a soul shaped by faith, steady as the mountains that rise beyond the shore, quiet as the snow settling on silent forests. He came from far away, leaving behind...

Looking back through a sea of doubts, Wave after wave of choices, some of which I would have been better off without. Regrets like drops of rain in an ocean of reality. If only one by one, with all the hurt and pain, could disappear into its deepest depths. Oh! Silly me to ever believe in...

On the day of the Lord the human shall fear, A terrifying god whom will Christians duly Peer, The dead shall live again - the Christian tear, A monopolising Christianity that cannot hear. With, or without, all people are flatly, truly loved, Without malice or tub, to jingle coyly ungloved, Whatever the decade, decision, rubbed, tugged, A transcendental god shall ring...

The end. Like the roses you got me, which wilted away. Even though I tried, and I stored them in a vase for my eyes to later be graced with their pretty petals and warm embrace. Then one night in the dark, in the passenger seat of your car, you said, "this is it", because...

I can’t imagine how painful it is to be God. Trying your hardest to make a beautiful painting, only to have the characters you created complain and mock the world around them. Why does God let bad things happen to good people? Pretty sure you’d walk away from the canvas too if it spat back...

The stars of heaven a story tell, as on the canvas of the sky with pictures, bold and intricate, each night they speak without a word. Ancient stargazers sketched the signs that God arranged among the stars. They traced the circuit of the sun as it traverses through the TWELVE. The signs presaged the birth of One Who would succeed where Adam failed, by crushing...

Through dusk’s shadows they soar, flickering evening lights, flies flashing cold fire, bugs unleashing lightning, micro-luminescent, miniscule miracles. Though fainter than candles, clustered firefly flocks flash brighter than stars in summer night skies, sparking joyous wonder, fluttering till sunrise. In our darkened world, can we shine like them, glimmering in the gloom, gifting goodness and hope for all those who grieve until a new dawn? (First published in Feed the Holy, 19 March...

God works in whispers and slight nudges Some choose to blast the music of the world They drown Him out and claim He isn't there They run away from Him tapping softly for attention He follows But not with screams and shouts and shoves He doesn't work like that If only we can learn to quiet our minds and lives to hear His...

What’s the point to see no point? Maybe it’s a game A devil’s game to which I joined Just to get the blame So I split myself in two But I drink like three One of me then said hey you Will you stop it, please? Then another me replied What’s the deal, my friend You’re no Jekyll, I’m no Hyde Can’t you understand That the Devil’s...

Like the petals of a rose receive the dew My ears tingle with the voice That calls my name. As the sun with the dawn I arise beckoned by the voice That calls my name. Here I am. I called you not. I return to my ease. Simply mistaken. Like the willow shimmers with the breeze My ears dance to the voice That calls my name. As the...

My soul is lifted out of my mind. In its stead— filled by the Holy Spirit, guided in silence by its breath... like an angry wind held still above a river born of crashing falls, with a tooth that grinds iniquities, and a sacred flame that cooks the soul, the mind, the spirit— to perfection... for the baptism of old me to become a whole...
