The Fall of Lucifer

Pride is a tower,
sitting high above others,
thinking to be God.

Pride is the first sin,
and the greatest lie of all.
It seeks division...

...for the sake
of itself.

Love Ignored

Why does marriage fail,
when God's grace supports it's vows -
a union with Love...

Is there anything stronger
than love, anything nobler,
anything better?

Love ignored
undoes all.

Self-Possession

Know to overcome -
others - know to overcome -
all - it is the same.

Know to overcome -
self - know to overcome
thy overcoming.

Break thy self,
to know peace.

Em

A human being
to be loved, must be loved
from eternity...

Past, present, future,
converge at the heart, and now
you're a young lady.

Walk always
in Beauty.

The Good Samaritan

There was once a man
who was set upon by thieves,
and was left to die...

But this man woke up
in the care of the caring,
and so he survived.

Does color
matter here?

Giving

The loaves and fishes
of our good Lord, overruns,
filling every lack...

In much the same way
our sharing is made joyful,
fulfilling our hopes.

The giving

is the gift.

Letting Go

Forgive easily
and forgive completely - but -
let not wisdom slip.

For you must forgive,
but not out of spite, or haste,
but let, fear the LORD.

God lets go
when you do.

The lessons we learn

we earn from the letting go

till we hurt no more.

AnnaSohpia

AnnaSophia,
there's no shortening her name,
our sister in Christ.

The hue of her eyes,
is the hue of her own sky;
the day in her soul.

God loves you,
dear Starshine.

Real Dirt

Greed is the real dirt,
I learned from Buddhist wisdom,
and indeed it is...

Nothing slays the soul,
than the yeilding of Heaven,
for a weight of earth.

Hearts clutching
at the sand.

Ache

When I speak my heart,
I ache - yearning to be heard,
I bare my longing...

I profess my hope...
truth, the language of my soul -
in witness of faith.

I ache, tell,
all is well.

Towards the Dawn!

A salutation!
To the dawn, the new morning,
the march of exiles...

How near the journey,
towards twilight, towards hope,
eastward, towards day.

Face away
from the night.

Peers

We are common peers
in God's common creation,
shoulder to shoulder.

Reciprocity,
complementarity and
mutual respect.

From many,
one whole one.

Glimpses

We desire beauty,
but Beauty everywhere hides,
so love may find Her.

There's hints everywhere...
glimpses. Just enough for faith
to make hearts fervent.

But Beauty
is jealous!

Speak

When you speak, take heed,
do not curse others with lies,
and beguile the weak.

Do not sunder truth,
and mislead the wayfarer,
with a serpent's tongue.

Be sincere,
speak thy truth.
