I sense something has changed in me
I am thankful, light and free
I see the whole world in a stone
mystic
Undone
I used to know everything
Now I don’t know any thing
I used to brag about this and that,
now I’m done with the fat clown
Until this day,
I’ve been lost in a darkness
I dared not admit
I wanted to live in a blaze of glory —
now I prefer the silence,
the creation,
through attentive listening
Unconvinced now of my rightness,
still thirsting for truth —
is what I know

The Arrow
I didn’t know then
what hit me
But, it was
an arrow from God
That got me to start
on the Greatest of Art

Elafonisi Summer
Open my heart wide, so I may see
Open my heart wide, so I may let go
Open my heart wide, so I may know
You, my Lover and Love
Help me bow down deeply, so I may drink
Help me stretch far, so I may pluck
Help me sit down quietly, so I may dine
Last, help me walk gently, so I may bless
Through You in me, my Lover and Love
Elafonisi summer
