Clear sight 

How hard it is to see
   the divine message 
when physical sense seems
   to distort it? …

Beyond time 

Beyond the sweep of 
   what we call time 
Life knew and knows 
   and ever will know 
the light and strength, 
   the warmth and joy 
of all that …

From Church

The demand for church

I like to think of each church that grows up in a community as that community's answered prayer for the presence of the saving Christ—the message of God's love for humanity.

Above the fog 

Encounter foggy thoughts
   that loom 
So thick at break of day? 
You have the remedy
   at hand 
To sweep those clouds …

Evidence of God appears 

Quietly and quintessentially, 
God maintains His creation. 
A constant in our life 
is the ever-present reality 
of our oneness with God. 
Identifying with the Divine 
gives us the truth ...

Principle’s action 

As the moon rises
   in the sky, 
As sunrises and sunsets
   are created, 
As oceans rise and fall
   in tidal forces,
Our lives are …

From God alone 

God is Mind,
knowing all there is to know.
How can I know aught
that He knows not? …

Yea and nay 

“Yea; nay.”
Is this the shortest
prayer in Scripture?
It may be.
Certainly, it packs
a metaphysical punch
above its length …

It’s always God 

It’s not my strength or resolve.
It never is, it never was
about a small “me”
praying to be victorious
over daily (sometimes nightly)
   bouts of pain.
No, it is …

No matter to see 

There is no blemish to see
                        in me.
            Only holy purity.
I’m only the gathering—
            Soul’s gathering—
            of unformed thoughts
            into their . . .

Is it the real, genuine being? 
Go back to the basics—
   is it real or unreal? 
A diamond or a rhinestone …

Sailing with God 

Sailing in Truth, 
   we 
         do
              not
                  drift ...
