THE MAKING OF LOVE

Love is strong
Yet it makes us weak
Love is our maker
Yet love often looks like our undoing
Love never tires because it sheds cleansing blood
Love is forgiveness
That is why man finds it hard to love
Love is enduring 
That is why it is eternal
Love is Grace
Love is the power of God
Love is not an emotion
It is the deep truth of just and right
Love is not passion
But it is a deep set purpose
Love is not a feeling
But the agenda of life
Love saves
It never condems
He who loves his neighbor as himself
Loves God
Because he has found God

WHEN WORDS WOULDN'T SPEAK

When words have nothing to say But the heart is full What would speak for you? What would speak to you? When the quiet of a heart And the sound of a meldy Would resonate with your truth That words could never say When you have to quietly shout to the world Silenltly tell your story What would speak to you? What would talk to you? When the chrip of birds And the rumbling of a waterfall Would not speak to you When quiet would not do What would speak to you? What would talk for you? What would authentically tell the world your story Authentically Not hiding a single note of the rhythm of your heart What would tell the world your desire Your fears and terror What would speak to you? What would speak for you? An old melody That holds a memory A sound that holds a longing That knows the notes of your heart Would that speak for you? Would it speak to you?

THE PARADOX

The fact that the reason to hold on is bigger than the reason to give up Does not trivialize your pain The fact that you neither shed a tear nor made a sound Does not mean you never cried The fact that you smiled all through the ceremony does not mean you were happy The fact that you are alive and happy Does not mean you aren't dead A strange ghost animating your body Not your dream self The fact you woke up with a plan Does not mean you aren't drifting through life The fact that you love a song Does not mean it makes you happy The fact that you woke when the alternative seemed lucrative Tells that you have outsmarted the paradox once more
