Screwtape Letters comes

to an unplanned, prolonged pause.

Was it the devil’s doing?

~

Tempting the saintly:

this surprise intermission

may lead some to the snack bar.

Revealing Encounters

Posted by agarrabrant

0

Must unexpected

contact always engender

caution, distrust, suspicion?

~

The way we react

to the unexpected, can

tell us much about ourselves.

A Matter of Outlook

He looks at the world

with soft eyes, a tender heart,

and an open mind.

~

And in so doing,

rent asunder the dark veil

revealing glimmers of hope.

Show Stopper?

Posted by agarrabrant

That murder of crows

brawling at the pasture’s edge,

for what scraps are they scrapping?

~

It’s possible they

are mimicking us, hoping

we’ll catch on in time.

See How They Groan

Posted by agarrabrant

0

As they look forward,

I look back and see the ways

they, once so very shy, have grown

~

Grown in impatience

and weary condescension

evidenced by their groaning.

Let’s change our focus

from daily complaints

to what feeds our souls.

Compassionate acts,

performed without agenda;

truly a feast worth sharing.

Pushing The Envelope

Posted by agarrabrant

Because lichen can thrive

in hostile environments

doesn’t mean everyone can.

~

 Like us, lichens need

clean, fresh air to survive and

we’re threatening even that.

In These Times

Posted by agarrabrant

In this modern age,

it seems every call to arms

should foster skepticism.

~

Instead, in these times

it’s the call to have a heart

that evokes skepticism.

“Pump Up The Volume”

Posted by agarrabrant

What happens when the White House

decides who can talk

and what they can say?

~

The message remains

consistent and the party

continues on unchanging.

Joyful News

 Be on the look-out

for acts of kindness. They are

more numerous than we think.

~

More numerous, yes,

but lacking in the drama

to command the news cycle.
