Poetry
If the Apostle Paul was alive today, I imagine he might phrase 1 Corinthians 13 a bit like this.
If I get more retweets and likes than anyone, but my words lack love, it would be better if I never posted.
If I can predict the pandemic curve, sell millions of masks, and even create the best vaccine, but profit from others’ pain instead of prevent it, my net worth is the inverse of my human worth.... more

I have a dream – that our tears over oppression will motivate cries for justice that become shouts of joy as justice flows down like rivers, and peace like everlasting streams.

How can those charged to serve and protectkill an unarmed man with a knee to the neck?Why do brown people fear the men in blue when there is no difference between me and you?
It’s not rightWe see the lightWe’ll stand and fightFor human rights
Why do people living off their last piece of earthget sold out and silenced as if they’re of no worth?Who gave away the land of their forefathers?I won’t... more

Praise the spring tulips that boldly emerge,splashing walls and walks with their flamboyant hues
Praise the fragrant leaves, a gift from a friend,warming heart and tongue with their exotic blend
Praise the smartphone, the only way to see and hearloved ones these days until the COVID all-clear

Their scent intensifies still.
A hero of peace flew away.

My God, let me eat you
Let me drink you in

Holy communion is all around me
Praying in the beauty of Prince Edward County, Ontario.

Today I am gifted with deep peace. It’s centered deep, low in my body, in my womb. It’s birthing strength to face new challenges and forget past fears. It stills my mind; my body is tranquil. May I carry this peace all day and into tomorrow.

“You know that woman who came by herself?” said the vinegar craftsman to the server.
“You mean me?” I asked, revealing my presence, losing the chance to hear the next sentence.
Would it be that I was still there, hours later, sated with vinegar, recipes and stories?
Was it the story I told the young woman who made my pizza, of my travels seeking stories that bring peace? Her great aunt couldn’t... more
