On the shore

The face that was familiar is no more
Yet in my dreams he  is alive again
Without his presence, I feel lost and sore

The truth of loss, no human can ignore
It tears our  heart  to pieces with its pain
The face that was familiar is no more

Yet sentimental offerings I abbhor
When parted from the love with whom I’d lain
Without his presence, I feel lost and sore

No give and take of love, the shore is bare
The tide is out  so far the waves complain
The face that was familiar is no more

On the sea’s edge, we would walk and stare
Now I walk alone is this  my shame?
Without his presence, I feel lost and  bare

By my write the inner rhythm’s regained
The art of losing well  may be attained
The face that was familiar is no more
With him I   found sweet sea shells on  the shore

 

 

There were ten turtle doves and a harvest in a pear tree

Art by Katherine’s Unconscious Mind

  • You shall have no other Gods for tea ever
  • You shall not make for yourself any  mind doll nor sit down with it nor versify  nor terrify it nor me
  • You shall not misuse the Home of the Word.
  • You shall remember and keep the Sabbath day  wholly free
  • You must not commit murder nor fantasise  it nor pretend war is just harmless fun
  • You must not commit adultery even with uncivil partners
  • You must not steal  benefits from the poor nor deride them
  • You must not give false references  about your Saviour
  • You must not be envious of your neigbour’s goods. You shall not be sensuous with his mouse nor his wife, nor any cat that emits  love with right behaviour

“God as an experience” A Stephanie Dowrick talk

Psalm 46

 God is our refuge and strength,
    an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
    and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
    and the mountains quake with their surging.[c]

4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
    the holy place where the Most High dwells.
5 God is within her, she will not fall;
    God will help her at break of day.
6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
    he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

7 The Lord Almighty is with us;
    the God of Jacob is our fortress.

8 Come and see what the Lord has done,
    the desolations he has brought on the earth.
9 He makes wars cease
    to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
    he burns the shields[d] with fire.
10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
    I will be exalted among the nations,
    I will be exalted in the earth.”
