Discovering the Secrets of the Universe

The virtues
of the seeker after truth
are two:
first, to seek knowledge,
second, to pray for blessings.

With these twin virtues
the seeker can discover
the secrets of the universe.

Late Afternoon Drive: Autumn Memory

Leafless limbs
Bid good night to the day

Islands drift
Across the azure sky

A dragon
Upside down between islands

A couple
Walk hand-in-hand

Palm trees' hair
Blow away from their faces

Waving flags
Welcome the setting sun

Green pine limbs
Beckon the rising moon

Mirror of Unity

The mirror
of God's Most Great Name
cast His reflection
across the human heart
uniting humanity.

Work is Worship

Focus--
with all your mind, heart, and soul--
on the job at hand,
and do the best you can.

My Mother's Prayer Book

I open Mom's prayer book
I leaf through it
to find
Mama's favorite prayers.

Memories flow through my mind
of Mama
setting in her room,
reading prayers
before she left the house
to go to work
or shopping.

Meditation on Forgiveness

In the privacy of my chamber,
in the silence of morning
or evening,
I contemplate forgiveness
and ask my Lord to forgive me.

Rejoice

Inhale the fragrance of morning,
the aroma of the new risen sun,
and rejoice.

Queued

The line advances,
A snake slithering
between roped corridors.

Prayer

Prayer transforms
the individual's soul and mind.

In the tranquility
of your abode
intone the prayers
revealed by the Glory of God,
while feeling the Holy Spirit
flowing through the words.

Healing a Gift of God

Healing comes from God
doctors and medication are
tools of the Almighty.

Butterfly

My soul is a butterfly
in the cocoon of matter
being transformed
by the grace and test

August

August a month of joyful memories
Urging me to pay again in cool pools,
Gust of hot summer winds
Urge my aging body to stay indoors and
Sip iced tea from tall cold glasses
Thoughts of my child hood return: Making me smile.
