Love Letter 358 Every Supper

Dear One

I sat at the empty table (and waited for You)
in front of the empty bowl (which you might fill)
my hands were empty
my heart, empty too
filled with longing,
I waited for
YOU


Beloved,
Oh,

On the Third Day YOU Rose Again
to Remind Me

YOU are the table
the bowl
my hands
and my heart

I Love You,
Your Beloved

Love Letter 357 There is Nothing to Adore but this

why god put you here for me to adore

is the mystery
i will not solve
with my lips in tandem with my shiny little mind

i must join
the mystery
at its core

where no else can go
but the mystery

then I will know
what no one knows

then I will know
how to celebrate the gift
without Italicunwrapping
it

just like you,
I will KNOW God's Love

as if
IMPLICIT
in the gift

god gave me YOU to adore
so I would stop
asking
questions


I Love You,
Your Beloved

Love Letter 356 How I Cope

On this mad terrain,
I have turned over the jungle.
given out galoshes to the men in white coats.
I am not living here...
so much
as,
wetting the pants
OF
the almighty unknown

just so people
have mud
to
stomp
in

I Love You
Your Beloved
