envelope








Feeling the sun on your face,
the burn in your muscles that you have not used in a long time,
the cool breeze as it whispers through the trees.

Hearing almost nothing,
silence,
a twitter of a bird song,
a quiet prayer.

amen

compassion

Let us touch the dying,
the poor,
the lonely,
and the unwanted
according the 
the graces 
we have received
and let us not be ashamed or slow to do 
the humble
work.

saturday mornings

friday evenings...
the start of the weekend
pizza
the couch
movie
falling asleep knowing the alarm clock won't go off

saturday mornings...
waking up slowly
tea and coffee
and a cookie
the Post
a new car in the garage
a giddy smile on his face

Can you see the ripples in the water?
her tiny feet in rubber boots move the water...
the rock she throws creates ripples...

Have you ever thought about how where we stand causes change and waves?
Have you thought about how what we give or throw away makes ripples?
