You are
here
and you are
not here.
You are
with me
and you are
not with me.
Your loving face
has opened to me
your loving face
in every face.
I can no longer
remember
your form
yet I
remember
your presence.
Love's companioning Presence
not with me,
as me
as you.

A Newfoundland Spring Bird
Welcomed singer,
music
to snow tired souls.
Ushering out
winter,
inviting in
spring,
your song
brings with it
a new day
full of promise
for a new creation.
Unseen forces
have carried you
across the dark
and uncertain ocean,
landing you
on this oft forsaken
island,
like Noah's dove,
Spirit's gift
of hope.

The Inner Shack
Inherited pain
in every human
consciousness,
passed on,
fathers to sons,
mothers to daughters.
Blinded
to joy
by an unhealed past,
by an unhealed present,
to the interior
Shack
Papa invites us
to face
our demons,
the roots
of our pain.
On this path
of descent,
only freely
embarked,
we are
never alone
nor outside
the flow
of Papa's
encouraging Love,
of Jesus'
human Wisdom,
of Spirit's
renewing Guidance,
of our
dance with Life.
Learning
to trust,
opening
to letting go,
consenting
to Unknowing,
we are
reconciled
with our past,
re-connected
to our present,
washed clean
of our hurt,
forgiving
all that God forgives,
a new creation
of love
rises
out of the Shack,
born
of the Trinity,
sent
into the world.
