We’ll fail and fail and fail again!

To the Spiritual Ranger
Love can be the force field
in front of you
and prayer the
supply chain at the back
To one entombed in one’s own webby darkness
It wouldn’t in this case be
a matter of extraction,
the external light of rescue
blasting and dissolving the shell,
but rather recognition and activation
of the love writ large
in your being,
God’s love for you,
the love you’ve yet to use
Readiness in light of a simple discernment
Love is not a scrubby little power we muster,
a scrambling to order affairs according to our
own perception of goods (that scaffolding we build
to lift our heart to heaven), but rather
concession of the self to the power that would
remake us, were we to allow it, into the giving
person we always hoped we’d be. I say:
Bring it on!
The love hiding in cupboards
Love in a corner,
under a shelf,
shadowed love,
dusty love,
crinkly love;
young, ripe and bursting love;
the sad, agonizing,
longing kind;
listless love,
weary love,
angry and killing love;
bored, yellow, and
dutiful love – and
yes, even, waiting patiently:
God’s love,
quiet,
in no hurry at all.
Love drives out fear
It’s simple, he said
When you’re loving, you’re happy,
and when you’re not
you’re not
Beauty, truth, love and goodness
Are self-evidently, irresistibly
superior
and thus will prevail
Let’s lead with love
Love be our light
Love
Love
is an
exercise in failure
through which
glory shines
