Memories in the Stillness

When we let the moments of stillness bleed into us,
they are there forever,
to recall, even if ephemerally.
It is being in the moment,
Able to truly appreciate the silence of the water, the wood,
the colors of the sky on a fading autumn day,
the movement of a branch covered in snow,
or even a spider's web
with a drop of dew on it
swinging in an early summer breeze.

Seeing through more of our senses
reflecting while perceiving
to bring back
a perfect moment
whenever we dream

The Holy Continuum

Stare Decisis

From the Beginning
He was the Word
From Abraham to Moses
to David and the prophets
The Law, to guide human behavior
Canons for our peace with God
Our relationship with others

Made flesh with the Christ,
the Emmanuel, the Great I am with us,
the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets
the Good Shepherd and ultimate judge
sealing the breach,
by example and sacrifice

Living the two prongs of the law
by deed and love
sacrifice and compassion
submitting all to the will of the Father
As we must
each day
To live the law
and inherit the kingdom.
