A few of my haiku and poetry reflections on prayer and the inner life

To hide from your life

To deem it unimportant

Is to fall asleep

What would it be like

to cease striving for awhile

And rest in my love

Love is the gaze

That fills us to the brim

And does us in!

Prayer is the longing

For what we already have

Union with Divine

Inside of you

There is a flowing fountain

Of living water

A Little Quiet

Light a little candle

Spend a little time

Be a little quiet

And know that you are Mine

Still the inner chatter

That you might hear My heart

It’s beating in your breast, my dear

And knows your every part

Your worries are so many

And peace is hard to find

Come, just sit with Me a while

And learn to know My mind

And when this flame’s exintinguished

And you’re attending to your cares

Know My heart is in your heart

In love abiding there

This awakening

Not a process of gaining

But of letting go

Grace is a mother

Who holds your face in her hands

Loving what she sees

Make friends with yourself

In honesty and kindness

Stay close to this friend
