wordless wednesday

flame of love

you are blazing

at my core,

sweet flame of love

i am not

separate from you

enso

broken

open

whole

oculus

...i dipped into

the future

far as the

human eye

could see;

saw the vision

of the world,

and all the

wonder that

would be

-alfred tennyson (1809-1892)

do not disturb

the human spirit

needs places

where nature

has not been

rearranged by

the hand of man

wordless wednesday - indigo sun

golden

"in your light,

we see light..."

little by little

life takes on

the color of that

by which

it is illumined

moment by moment

a richer hue

until every thing

is golden

stargazing

i dreamt of looking

deep into the night sky

and seeing all the stars -

(far more than i have

ever seen in waking life)

glowing, pulsing, exchanging light

in an other-worldly communion

all my senses suddenly expanded

then compressed

into one knowing...

the kind that mortal bodies

cannot sustain for long

but for which we're made, nevertheless

soften

soften your gaze awhile...

until life comes

into focus again

wordless wednesday

push

learning to stand

in your own power

sometimes requires

pushing back

against the voices

that say:

do it this way

into the silence

...god is laboring in me

i need to be silent for a while,

worlds are forming

in my heart.

-meister eckhart (1260-1327)

learning to pray

i struggle

with words

i pray

in images
