Eagle’s Flight – the gathering – my walk into life – 1/5/14

At a church service of death and rebirth, I presented this poem with a prayer at the end, which I find useful from time to time. At times walking in the ways of Love, in the ways of God is about letting go of things I’ve collected along the way. Continue reading

Eagle’s flight – the gathering – healing – 12/16/13

I have been given the gift of healing. And I’ve even prayed for some people (and myself) to be healed, and on several occasions it has worked in a significant way. But I don’t do it very much. It’s not very well accepted in the circles I frequent, and I’ve not found a way to bring it in so that it gets more than ignored as a curious bump in the road. Continue reading

eaglesflight – the gathering – and in conclusion – 12/6/13

Jesus’ sermon on the mount. ends with a number of interesting musing points. I’ve found my most effective musings are when I try and walk out, to incorporate some (perhaps small) part of what I’m reading into how I live. And as I do that, I uncover parts of me I’ve not been aware of. I begin to see in the midst of life what I must let go of and what treasures I must walk more deeply into. Continue reading

Money. A root of all sorts of evil. A pearl of great price. An embodiment of value. We can’t live without it. And sometimes we can’t live with it. Continue reading

Eagle’s Flight – the gathering – light – 10/20/13

light has become so many things to us these days. It is opening to us the history of the universe by the ways it is created in stars and then how its modified and molded on its billion year journey to us. Continue reading

Eagle’s Flight – rafting – just like us – 9/17/13

Looking at my own callings, and the clumsy way I grow up into Love. I get discouraged, but find a friend in Simon the fisherman, whom Jesus named Peter. I find, I too learn to see with God’s eyes in fits and starts, but all too often see through my own preconceptions or through the eyes of others who would like to believe the Universe operates as they have made it.
(see especially the story in Matthew 16, Luke 22, and John 21) Continue reading

Eagle’s Flight – rafting – too busy – 9/8/13

I’ve taken on one more responsibility – being on a jury. And I wonder if I can (successfully) walk through all the things I’m doing, all the things I’ve said “yes” to. Continue reading

It will be a follow up to “Love’s Signatures” which I released in January of 2012, titile yet to be determined. It will include the poems I’ve written since “Love’s Signatures” and sent out via emails and my blog since the previous book. Continue reading
