 * Breathing God I see you climbing lonely hills burdened by all the mysteries randomly gathered over the years. From atop the world you scrutinize frosty cosmic valleys of tears and shiver in the grip of solitude. You long for soothing replies. A tiny flower wants your eyes to reflect its charm upon your soul. As if guided by soft petal whispers you feel ready for contemplation. To those who are willing to listen nature offers deepest revelations. You long for a new awareness. See how the little flower sways how it graciously dances in the breeze? How it bravely withstands the storms? See how it surrenders to its fate, how it displays its innate loveliness? It smiles right into the Creator’s eyes! It makes love to the air and to the sun to the stars and to the moon, it gracefully receives the rain and awakens to the caress of dew. It opens to life without fear, it asks for nothing, it just is. Yet it is never ever lonely, for it quietly breathes God. You long for true oneness. Do you hear the flower’s love sighs? In gratitude it sings its song of praise! It really says you are never alone, not even in midst of nowhere! You are immersed in divine essence clinging to your skin, mind, heart and soul! Peel off the layers ofencumbrances, it’s time for you now to sing along … …. breathing God. * |

Oh dear lady...your poetry is inclusive of all religions. It speaks a spirituality that reveals that you not only talk the "talk"--you walk the walk. This is perfection, and you are a lovely spirit indeed. |

Yo Margherita, You might be interested to know, that my parish is having "Margherita Madness" on April 25 and 26. Rum, Tequila, grass skirts, etc. Do us urban cat lickers have more fun or what? Bobby |

Lol, Bobby, you mean Margherita-Daisy Madness, Pizza Margherita Madness or "St. Margherita" Madness?? Grass skirts? How funny! With all that Tequila stuff everybody will end up stretched out on the grass in the end I fear! Yes I think you know how to have fun in your parish. God enjoys us when we are celebrating life. Thank you for the smiles. Love, Margherita |
