PoHymn: A Rustling in the Stagnant … September 16th, 2015

Knowing Where

Sometimes I follow, looking for a lead

Other occasions lead, finding some who follow

I have learned to speak, avoiding the cowardly silence

I become silent, letting others bravely speak

A time to laugh instead of weep

Weeping comes to balance my laugh

I can see a woman as she is

I can also see her as she yearns to be

A man is not the same as me

But I am no better than any he

I believe in God and trust His good

God believes in me, stepping out of the way

I work inside on a rainy day

I leave the house when the sun comes to play

I am weak when others are strong

I am strong when the weaker requires mercy

I am human, stained with error

I am human, graced with heaven

Knowing my place is placing my know

Planting my best and watching it grow

For the only way to find inner peace

Is knowing where to place your piece.

Getting in Character… July 20th, 2015

From Act II, Scene VII of As You Like It, Shakespeare asserts that “all the world is a stage and all the men and women, merely players.”

Finding peace is rarely peaceful. It begins by admitting we are not satisfied. The position we find ourselves in is no longer acceptable. We may be afraid of change, but we are more frightened of the status quo.

Yet we have delayed. The reason is obvious: making peace is personal.

No one will become peaceful if they think we are still looking for a fight. Why do we fight? We don’t believe we have enough love, talent, passion, commitment, intelligence, and time.

Inner peace is a blending of our confidence with good cheer–confidence that we can accomplish excellent things, and good cheer because we know that failing butters our daily bread.

“All we are saying is give peace a chance”–a chance to teach us, warm us, enlighten us,humble us, uplift us, expand us, and mostly … simplify us.

For after all, less is more or less where we all begin.

All thing work together to the good for those who love…

• the Lord
• life
• honesty

… and conflict which ends in contentment.

God’s children make peace.

Peace starts within.

Within is when I’m no longer ashamed.
