As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. – Jn 15:9
in the raging storm
paralyzed by fears and doubts
remain in my love
when you fear footsteps
doggedly tracking your heels
remain in my love
when you see the light
revealing all that’s hidden
remain in my love
“Remain in me, as I remain in you. Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on its own unless it remains on the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in me.” – Jn 15:4
the fruit that i bear
witness to your abundant love
rooted in your truth
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.” – Jn 14:27

lone white egret on gray pond
craving fulfillment
Jesus answered and said to him, “Whoever loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.” – Jn 14:23
Lord, send your Spirit
to remind and teach me
preparing the temple
make your dwelling, my God
in the void left empty –
unfulfilled by the world
in predawn darkness
above the howling wind
woodpecker drumming
Longing For Water
