It’s time we start smiling
What else should we do?
With only this short time
I’m gonna be here with you

~ George Harrison

"Monet for Mom" by Hope Arden, acrylic on canvas

They can be like a sun, words.

They can do for the heart

what light can

for a field.

It Is a Lie

It is a lie—any talk of God

that does not

comfort

you.

—Meister Eckhart

The Sky's Sheets

When He touches me I clutch the sky’s sheets,

the way other 

lovers 

do

the earth’s weave

of clay.

Any real ecstasy is a sign 

you are moving 

in the right

direction,

don’t let any prude tell

you otherwise.

~ St. Teresa of Avila
