I have a cause
we need those don’t we?
otherwise darkness and cold gets in
and everything starts to
ache
My soul has a purpose, it is
to love;
if I do not fulfill
my heart’s desire
I suffer
Thomas
Aquinas

Lazy mornings come
those rare days (not today)
where there is no agenda
when the calendar is white space
and nothing more
I sometimes dread those days
In the deep of winter
when the world is frozen
and my normal “causes”
my yard and pastures
are still asleep
an unready to come out and play
those white spaces
have their reasons
for they take me beyond the shallows
into the deep
in silent moments
with computer and TV dark
my heart’s voice can finally be heard
and the call of the sacred can
echo in a silent soul
reminding me of my calling
the calling
and in that moment
be both fire
and salve
