SELF-PORTRAIT
It doesn’t interest me if there is one God
or many gods.
I want to know if you belong or feel
abandoned.
If you know despair or can see it in others.
I want to know
if you are prepared to live in the world
with its harsh need
to change you. If you can look back
with firm eyes
saying this is where I stand. I want to know
if you know
how to melt into that fierce heat of living
falling toward
the center of your longing. I want to know
if you are willing
to live, day by day, with the consequence of love
and the bitter
unwanted passion of your sure defeat.
I have been told, in that fierce embrace, even
the gods speak of God.

THE OPENING OF EYES After R. S. Thomas
That day I saw beneath dark clouds
the passing light over the water
and I heard the voice of the world speak out,
I knew then, as I had before
life is no passing memory of what has been
nor the remaining pages in a great book
waiting to be read.
It is the opening of eyes long closed.
It is the vision of far off things
seen for the silence they hold.
It is the heart after years
of secret conversing
speaking out loud in the clear air.
It is Moses in the desert
fallen to his knees before the lit bush.
It is the man throwing away his shoes
as if to enter heaven
and finding himself astonished,
opened at last,
fallen in love with solid ground.
SWEET DARKNESS
When your eyes are tired
the world is tired also.
When your vision has gone
no part of the world can find you.
Time to go into the dark
where the night has eyes
to recognize its own.
There you can be sure
you are not beyond love.
The dark will be your womb
tonight.
The night will give you a horizon
further than you can see.
You must learn one thing.
The world was made to be free in.
Give up all the other worlds
except the one to which you belong.
Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn that
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
you have made too small for you.
THE HOUSE OF BELONGING

Kylemore Abbey
I heard you calling
Fresh mountain streams
Advertised sparkling refreshment
From the page of a travel brochure
I will feed your soul.
Castles refuge, stable and strong
Edges softened by misty rain.
Cool stones absorb worry’s fever
Space and protection lie waiting
Lake of still water reflects
God’s creation,
Compositions of man and nature
Pause and gaze within
Inspire draughts of serenity
Soak up droplets of peace
Silently witness life’s freedom
Be nourished
PAX adorns your threshold
proclaiming peace, that falls gently
on all who pass through
Come in
I sought tranquility at Kylemore Abbey
It did not disappoint
Except when
I flew there again, in my mind
Mist turned to fog
The deep lake mirrored
My face of confusion
Sometimes in the rain
I think I feel your
mountain breeze upon my skin
Infused with scent of woodlands
And rich earth
Like the nuns of Benedict
I plant a seed, in memory of your gardens
And lay a small stone in faith
Poems by:
Let America be America again by Langston Hughes
the Electric Wizard (poetry)
Since it is as it is - allways always
The best warriors
do not use violence.
The best generals
do not destroy indiscriminately.
The best tacticians
try to avoid confrontation.
The best leaders
becomes servants of their people.
This is called the virtue of non-competition.
This is called the power to manage others.
This is called attaining harmony with the heavens.
- Lao Tse from the Tao Te Ching chapter 68
