They can be like the sun, words
They can do for the heart
what light can do
for a field
St
John of the Cross

Wise men
say it clearly
resolution to the worlds ills are not to be found
in the clanging noise of the internet
through harsh encounters
where everyone is talking
an no one is listening
except with a eye
to a response
the healing of the world
is to be found
in deep listening
in understanding
in loving speech
a lesson even more difficult
to learn
when we are soooooo
sure WE
are right

Lord, this day
help me to stop for a moment
May I really listen to
all the pain, and fear
and yes joy too
which lurks behind the words
My I seek to understand with the heart
and use my words
wisely
scattering them
like warm sun across a
field of good seeds
to bring forth
good
fruit
