"Knowing means always knowing more. Always going further. And with infinite, silent patience, being determined to remember the pathway." Balthus



I pray for knowing.

I pray to remember the pathway.

I pray for compassion, "to suffer with others, but also to listen to them, hear and understand them."

May I walk a new step each day.

A brave step.

A compassionate step.

Gamblers and Spirits

August 27th


It starts in the night, under the moon still lighting up the sky.

Then in the morning before the sun sends light into the day

I'm still tossing and turning.


I am a beggar with a bowl in my hands

asking for prayers.



"Gamble everything for love, if you're a true human being.

If not, leave this gathering." Rumi


I pray to be a gambler.

I pray to have the courage to feel this love

and let it break my heart over and over for you.


"Stop the words now

Open the window in the center of your chest

and let the spirits fly in and out." Rumi


I pray for the flight of our spirits.

"Love is never so great that it can't be expanded."
                                            Dominic Anthony De Leo


     I pray for my love to expand out into the universe
     past planets and stars
     to that infinite space that holds you
     where is it?
     How will I know it?
     How will I see it?
     Questions with no answers
     There is only the feeling
      that you are not far away
      you are here.
      I don't understand how these two concepts can exist,
      contradicting each other.
      There's so much I don't understand about this new world I am in.
      A world within and without, far away and close to me.

      I pray to know the nearness of you
      I pray for strength to not struggle with understanding
      just to surrender to not knowing.

      You came to us
      in a stranger.
      Someone who spoke your words
      someone we grew to love
      in only a few short days.
      Was it a miracle?
      Who told him what to say?
      How did a stranger from the other side of the world
      know?
      More questions and your silence as an answer.
      Maybe the miracle was to find love in him.
      and in that way love expanded.
      I pray to allow love to expand.
