Awakening

“Awakening is no longer a luxury or an ideal. we don’t need to add more depression, more discouragement, or more anger.” (Pema Chödrön)

God as a verb

I have devoted many of my poems to reflections on spirituality after a career of teaching and writing about religion. I have hoped to nudge readers into the present moment.

Compassion

Compassion is necessary for a life well-lived, and one of the most difficult virtues to develop regarding human nature. My Uncle John always welcomed visits from myself and younger brother George with unconditional favor.

The giving universe

I have three new feline friends, Pepé, Taz, and Chloe. I appreciate the friendship and positive thoughts I receive from unexpected places.
