My latest poem

Constantly critical?
Legally “levitical”?
Profoundly “political”?
Psychoanalytical?
Eliminate the microscope!
Please stop pushing the envelope,
Just let it go…and learn to cope!
Feelings of others…

“Consider the rights of others before your own feelings, and the feelings of others before your own rights.” Coach John Wooden
Ping pong with my older brother
Small changes….

“True life is lived when tiny changes occur.” – Leo Tolstoy
Small changes = big gains!
Worrying?

“Worrying is like paying a debt you don’t owe.”

Giving your concerns to God
Fostering silence

“Enter more and more into the great silence. Silence: (a) of the tongue; (b) of the movements of the passions; (c) of reasons and reflections on the manner in which others act. Leave that to our Heavenly Father. I am finding great peace of soul now that I do not allow myself to be concerned with the doings of others, as far as my duty as abbot permits. I speak of these things to the Heavenly Father, as the Psalmist constantly does. Then that becomes a prayer which makes peace and silence only the more profound.” Blessed Columba Marmion
