Openings … Noticing and Love

 

I awake to the deafening sound of nothing.

What it this that surrounds me?

Yet another day, daylight and chores, work to be done,

lawns to be cut, cars to be washed?

Or am I surrounded by love on this Sunday of mine and I notice.

 

“For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.”

Gospel of Luke

Openings … The Garden of Weedin’

 

Today is a good day for weeding,

Wow, where did those thoughts come from,

and how did I start doing this again,

and who planted that one, I thought it was dead.

When the weeds start to flower, they will choke off the beauty my garden.

 

“First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles for burning;
but gather the wheat into my barn.”

Gospel of Matthew

Openings … Law of the Heart

 

Listening to learn more, I pay attention to those,

Who put me in a jacket,

And issue instructions,

For how I should feel, prayer, talk, write, love.

When I all need is to put my heart first to you and leave my head behind.

 

“Hear the parable of the sower.”

Gospel of Matthew
