Religion fascinates me
The passion and devotion
Of its practitioners
Equaled in vibrancy
By the colour palette
Of its expression

The beauty and insight I will never know
It is not the unknown
Which frightens me
But the stories I create
To comfort my ignorance
Which frightens me
But the stories I create
To comfort my ignorance
And so I forfeit
The beauty
And insight
I will never know
Places of Tranquility
There are places
Of peace
Of tranquility
Of peace
Of tranquility
Places where we simply
Are
Places where we simply
Be
Fascinating
How often I find
Places of worship there
Something greater than I
There is something
Utterly delightful
In the interplay
Of mountains and clouds
In the late afternoon sun
Utterly delightful
In the interplay
Of mountains and clouds
In the late afternoon sun
No. No, no.
Divine
I mean divine.
The Grace of the Blue Swallow
Sept. 18 – 1997
Greetings traveler:
In ancient times, there was a prayer for “The Stranger Within our Gates.” Because this motel is a human institution to serve people, and not solely a money-making organization, we hope that God will grant you peace and rest while you are under our roof.
A little help, please!?
Sometimes
All you really need
Is a little help
From a friend
All you really need
Is a little help
From a friend
Give me shelter
Roofs. Shelter and safety.
First, a tangent.
The Jesus Effect
On an otherwise cloudy afternoon the sun suddenly breaks through, casting rays down onto the Andaman Sea and its Karst sentinels. “The Jesus Effect,” I say, loudly enough so Katrin can hear me over the engine’s roar and the ocean sloshing against the Thai longtail’s hull.
“What?”
“The Jesus Effect,” I say more loudly. “When the sun comes through the clouds in shimmering rays like that.”
