I was seven and the Nun teacher said put your head down and
think about your sins to confess to the priest; so I did, but could
not think of a single one. Oh, I must have some I cried, so I lied.

I sense one's journey far more enduring than any given moment...even death be not final.

|
"Haven hide me safe and sound. Far away from this cruel world. Give me peace of mind and body."

To Be Graced To Behold The Smiles Of An Infant, Is To Blessed To Glimpse A Piece Of Heaven

|
I'm not a contest person. Don't want to make my life a competition -- wanting suggestions to come from myself, wanting little as possible for my works to be the prompted themes of others -- not a feed the hungry person, preferring to fish with my brothers and sisters. I believe each God given life is a miracle divine, a bottomless spiritual well of personal creativity, to be drawn from and explored to the fullest unhindered by writing laziness --

Even after the environment quiets, is made ready, the sounds of silence keep us awake a bit. Sleeping is one of life's greatest mysteries.

|
Blue eyes heaven skies

|
Rather than measuring a moment, it is better to be in the moment, traveling bravely life's unpredictable, and often harrowing trajectory -- one way or another, you will come out the other-side. For the sake of the soul, even death can sometimes be a victory.

|
We are to fragile to realize, the power of love, for the tears we haven't cried.

|
Quoting God seems nearly impossible, lost in translation, yet He offers His Son, who we find nearly impossible to imitate, yet as we grow closer and closer to the Lord, we find that even given our limitations, people indeed see God in us.

|
I want to go to hell because religious people are in heaven.

|
Your thoughts are the raw materials of the universe; be a careful builder, for what you construct in the silence will eventually house your spirit.

|
The impossible is merely a temporary label we apply to the distance between our current reach and our eventual grasp

|
I'd rather dwell on the good in life, in relationships. Just the way my mind works. I am not big on victim-hood. Have been hurt seriously...and forgiven. Hope others will do the same for me.

|
I hope heaven has pizza parlors, and little establishments with local craft beers. And jukeboxes with hits from the 50's. And good Italian ices. And drive-ins, and moonlight canoeing. And And And.............. The best of earth would be heaven enough for me.

|
Things...even good and happy things -- are beyond mortal control. The grace of God any longevity.

|
Smile even though your heart is aching, life is for celebrating.

|
Rule No 4: Forgiveness is the key to action and freedom. Forgive others so that you may be forgiven also.

|
"The rain can kiss you sweetly. The rain can beat on you. Yes, even the rain can sing you a lovely lullaby to sleep."

|
I can't stick to form, so I don't even enter contests. I write Free, Blank verse, no lipstick, they are all pigs admittedly.

|
The world is a vending machine; be careful what button you push.

|
Heaven and hell
One step up
One step down
This is the see saw of life.
Yet falling is easier, it's difficult to rise

|
Never forget to smile, even when life is hard.

|
Even when you're gone, your love stays forever.

|
Creativity...a moment with God! Yes, spirit is everywhere one is open to receiving. The everything that went into a small blossom -- each wonder an introduction, a doorway to one's greater miracle of divinely seeing and expressing. Nothing exists outside of God...and all are connected, meridians of The Infinite. Write...paint...invent~ a never-ending journey.

|
When you are in a room filled with devils angels stand out even more.

|
Just my opinion, years of analysis...but God Alone will decide when prayer is enough for His immediate intervention. In most cases, He has given us the power, right and duty to self govern (that is Free Will). With that in mind, most prayer without the sacrifice of personal action will not accomplish a desired goal. Unfortunately/fortunately that has created human devils and saints.

|
Even though you can
You don't have to land shoulder
for everyone's tears
'cause that's one way to drown yourself.

|
I stitched away the mouth
Who couldn't remember. Even if my body could.

|
Don't come in uninvited. Don't even knock. Wait for me to appear in your heart's ambit. For I am, after all, the wisdom of your own mind.
