Light belongs to the heart and spirit. Light attracts people, it shows the way, and when we see it in the distance, we follow it. ~ Ricardo Legorreta

Today’s Poem: A Prayer by Patience Worth
A Prayer
Patience Worth
That peace which passeth understanding;
That peace which clings an unopened lily;
That peace which hangeth like a garment
About a mountain peak;
That peace which slippeth between the morning
And the night like a phantom thing;
That peace which is the quietude, the communion,
The infinite power of rest;
That peace which hovers about an infant’s eyes,
Encompass me!
For I am weary, and my soul crieth out.
Let Thine encircling arms enfold me.
Let me rest my head upon Thy bosom,
And learn from Thy mute lips, contriteness,
And silence before oppression.

Finding Joy in Simple Moments: My Friendship with Sammy the Gecko
There is a gecko that shows up on a fence rail outside my study. He’s (I think it’s a he. It could be a she) right on time each day. I think he’s putting on a show for me. He’ll change colors in a second, then change back. Occasionally, I’ll catch a glimpse of him snagging an insect. I hope it is a mosquito. He’s a patient one. he’ll lay on the fence rail and wait, intuitively knowing brunch will appear within tongue flicking range. I gave him the name Sammy. Sometimes, if I’m sitting on my patio nursing an iced tea he’ll show up and sit on the patio floor next to me. I peek over and ask him how he’s doing. I’m not sure he understands me. Perhaps I should look for a gecko language tutorial app. The point of this blog is nothing more than the friendship i have with this little creature. I’m grateful for Sammy.

From Darkness to Light: The Awakening Poem by Patience Strong
The Awakening
Patience Strong
Death is not a sleep, but an awakening
to Life. Casting off the dreams of
darkness, sorrow, sin and strife-the soul
arising greets the glory of the morning ray-
faring forth into the promise of the golden
day.
At the gate that swings between this world
and worlds above-stands the Angel of God’s
mercy with the lamp of love…. Fear not for
the spirit that has passed into the night.
Death is not sleep, but an awakening to
Light.
