WINTER NIGHT

Winter crescent moon,
Pulsating stars, frozen tears,
Waiting for answers.

MORNING

Jesus woke this morning,

got out of bed,

grabbed a cup of coffee

and sat down to read the New York Times.

Jesus wept.

NAMASTE

Old dry eyes,
shed no tears,
words of truth,
pierce the heart,
water springs,
bubble up,
cleansing sight,
love's rebirth.

WHERE I PRAY BEST

(with thanks to my brother in Christ, John, for the prompting...)

And the envelope please…

The winner of the award for person least likely to be quoted in my ‘blog: Val Kilmer . The quotation: “But I think once you find out what you really want, it's important to live where you pray the best, where you're the healthiest.”

Matthew 6: 6: "But you, when you pray, go into your inner room, close your door and pray to your Father who is in secret, and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.”

And finally, from Frederick Buechner: "Whenever you find tears in your eyes, especially unexpected tears, it is well to pay the closest attention. They are not only telling you something about the secret of who you are, but more often than not God is speaking to you through them of the mystery of where you have come from and is summoning you to where, if your soul is to be saved, you should go next."

I don't think I'm prepared to put words to these thoughts yet, but in the interim, here are some pictures of places that make my heart sing:

So tell me....where do YOU pray best?
