Your soul is buried under your skin Miles and miles deep Your heart stops behind your words Your failure to speak Speaks volumes There are leagues and seas Between your heart and your mouth Oceans of questions Winding rivers of fear Your mind And your heart Have been so Apart For so long You can’t… Continue reading Buried
speak through me I invite You in let the spirit rest His divinity a breath His love a chill His touch a trail of goosebumps along my arms His whisper beckoning a cry into the void speak for I am listening
What do we do when we want God in our lives? We must invite Him in. Our relationship with God must be a constant invitation. In everything we do - "when you sit in your house, and when you walk on the way, and when you lie down and when you rise up" (Deuteronomy 6:7)… Continue reading Home
A continuation of "Slavery." There is no coming to consciousness without pain. People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own Soul.

All our hearts are broken by love, and yet somehow love is the cure. Love is the poison and the antidote. The reason why… Continue reading Love, Part II
Blessed is he who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is in the Lord alone. He shall be like a tree planted by waters, sending forth its roots by a stream: it does not sense the coming of the heat, its leaves are ever fresh; it has no care in a year of drought, it… Continue reading Trust
