My Malu

This Spirit, did not examine bloodlines, or add up years spent, nor tally words learnt. This identity, called like a lover, impossible to resist. It stood at the door and knocked. It asked only of the heart, and waited for just one word. And with my Yes, came freedom. Unexpected. Arresting. Because I have listenedContinue reading “My Malu”

The never ending cycle of the same daily dayness

Diving deep into more of the same sameness  Life is nothing more than repetition  The never ending cycle of the same daily dayness Endless doing over Sleep, food, love, work,  Repeat  What sameness will sweep us up until all the hours are gone?

Passion Changes Everything – even if it’s only 1%

Flashes of truth and passion make me falter. Falter as I fold washing and make beds. Falter as I prepare meals and earn money. Can the two unite? Is it possible to live in this world, serving family and place, while also departing into the space where none of it matters? Can I be trueContinue reading “Passion Changes Everything – even if it’s only 1%”

I Need Reminding

I need reminding. The glow of inspiration fades and I am left empty. I need reminding. Often. The hunger for more and the path towards it grows dim and blurry. I am lost and need reminding.

Hearing God’s Voice

God’s voice in the garden rises still She who has ears to hear, let him hear God’s voice in the garden, mingled with birdsong and dew God’s voice in the night breeze, full of familiar smells God’s voice in the echo of tragedy, in the hope of dawn God’s voice in the garden rises stillContinue reading “Hearing God’s Voice”

Let People be People – Let God be God

You can have your Truth

You cling to truth wrapped tight. It covers your eyes, squeezes your breath. Your truth a bunker, no light to dance or welcome.  You can have your truth. And I my own. With its stories told so detailed I believe them all.  But there is only one.   One truth.  I know.  Its author is theContinue reading “You can have your Truth”
