pre Easter reflection

roll away the stone

whatever that stone might be

pea under your bed

pebble in your sock

that annoys your entire being

making you lose sleep

reminding you it's there

truth is 

God already rolled it away and is waiting for us to see the light

maybe life is

Maybe life is

walking on the beach

with pebbles, shells, sea glass, seaweeds, and lots of sand

we never know what we may find

and if we give enough attention 

we may learn a lesson or two

and if we take enough time to study

we may realize that we are also one of them

 

present in future perspective

While I was walking on the beach the words came to my heart.

"Someday your body will be unstable and your mind not be as sharp as it is now

you will remember the day you walked on this beach 

and how I poured out my words and love to you 

and how beautiful it was."

I started thinking of the present moment 

from the perspective of the future.

I realized

This moment is not only to be savored here and now

but also to be treasured for tomorrow's reminiscence. 

a rock

a rock

holding a mountain

 

banquet by the sea

everyday I see the banquet offered by the sea

the wave looks like a huge tablecloth

fresh, ironed, float in the air

and gently laid on the table

to prepare a party

that excitement

that anticipation

that abundance

that generosity

was what was offered to me

by the ocean

by the mercy and grace of God

 

invitation

look outside and see 

how vast my creation is

It is created for you 

to know my love

all of them live by the order I created 

and you 

also live by the order I created you

that is love

silent retreat

I love the silence between the waves

silence is also the work of the waves

they retreat to resurge

pushing the current back to the shore

to make the sound and movement

it truly is 

silent retreat

to come back fully charged
