Grace

Grace is just a word

until you really

need it,

and

peace is just a sentiment,

until you

don’t have it.

Testimonies of Nature

Now that the world is silent for a moment, may we again hear the cries of the wind, the whispers of the trees, and the cadence of the river, all, and at once, singing the song of their Creator, the source of trembling power and unexpected life.

Peace

The hardest won peace was never between nations, among houses, or within families. It has always been the peace that whispers in a human heart, finally, and entirely, at rest with its own nature.

Peace

You always

look for peace

in me,

like a gambler

places

another

bet,

certain that

this,

this will be the time,

that hope

outwits

your odds.

Christmas: On Harmony

May peace reign

and harmony fill the halls;

may our hopes rise

as the glittering snow falls.
