Haiku - The Perfect Creative Outlet for the Busy and Impatient:

The Question

The God who is there
Will he show up tomorrow
When I need him most

Garden Produce

Flowers open and close
Like the sign in the window
Nectar sold daily

Avian Idol

Birds on their nests
Snuggling with their body heat
Next year's musicians

I remember when.....

I remember in the late eighties when the punk thing was so new and scarey, and good christian folks were distancing themselves from the ungodly spiked haired safety pin wearing kids, I watched a group of them sitting together talking.

When one kid spoke, every head turned, every eye was on her/him. Then the next kid talked, and the same thing happened; everyone's attention was solely on them.

I was mesmerized - I realized that these kids had found themselves a family - a community in the true sense.

It's what the human heart craves - and we will look for it 'til we find it - regardless of the cost - and sometimes it costs a lot.
