Accepting, silencing, quieting brokenness,
Rise and walk,
Clearing a space, allowing grace,
The bridegroom away,
Getting out of the way,
An inner-chamber creating pace,
Permanent patches, shrunken cloth in a new garment,
Avoiding tattering and being torn,
Cleansing tears,
New wine in new wineskins,
Counting authenticity one moment at a time,
Passing through mind, body, and spirit,
Prayerfully learning, discernment a gift,
Touch and taste the Presence,
Breathing, being, peace, infinitesimal, immense,
Doing nothing, not even non-doing,
Releasing while increasing,
Receiving while giving away,
Practice makes perfect,
Fortitude makes strong,
Patience endures,
Temperance tempers,
Understanding relieves blindness,
Virtues blossom, a flower bouquet,
Life long, eternity even longer,
Subtle, forming, painful, difficult,
God’s love carries along,
Unsure drifting in the wind,
Carefree inner-tubing down a river,
Actuality alone, together in love,
Words sprinkle like rain,
Images replace, concepts erased,
A Baroque Cathedral splendidly enduring,
A discreet petite efficacy,
An inner-city efficiency,
Phantasmagorias,
Parables,
A cross within a circle,
A Sacred Heart,
An Immaculate Heart,
A heart one’s own,
Many hearts coalescing,
The sound and the roar,
Metamorphoses,
Let’s begin again,
Unknowing,
Trusting underneath the weight of the world,
Trusting within all the longing and imperfection,
Trusting the Emptiness.
