2015.05.01: you know the way

“Where I am going you know the way.” – Jn 14:4


you were born
knowing the way
but you listened
to the world
and doubted
yourself
and lost the way

stop

breath in
breath out

in the stillness
where you are
there I AM

be still
and know
that I AM
the way

be still
and know
that you are
created
in my image

be still
and know
that you were born
knowing the way

be still
and know the way
starts with you
right here
right now
just as you are

be still
you know the way

be

2015.04.30: diaspora

misfortune and hard work
led to prosperous lives
in many new places
we lost a country
but gained the human race

let’s never forget
from where we came
but let’s not dwell
in when we can’t change
we can never move forward
while looking back

take wisdom from the past
make peace with the present
bring hope to the future
gather courage to love
home is where the heart is

now is the time
here is the place
this is the life
make it matter

2015.04.28: Lamb and Shepherd

Jesus answered them, “I told you and you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify to me. But you do not believe, because you are not among my sheep. My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they follow me. The Father and I are one. – Jn 10:25-27,30


by Jordan’s water
the Lamb became the Shepherd
the hope of sheep lost

in the fog of time
the Shepherd’s voice speaks always
leading his sheep home

the Lamb came for us
listen and find the Shepherd
One with the Father
