PRAYER

I spent some time today with a lady who is dying, after we got past all the medical stuff we sat back & talked over a cuppa & scones. She admitted to me that she was scared....'terrified' was the term she used. She is a woman of faith & she told me of how she meditated with prayer. I admitted that lately I'd been crying out into the night to God - to whatever is out there to help me...to guide me - she replied "no my dear, you musn't pray in the darkness or it will overcome you......the best times to pray are at sunrise & sunset.

KEEPER

I believed you were capable of change
But I guess I was wrong,
Once again.
I’m left to pick up the pieces,
To make them fit -
To create some semblance of a sanctuary,
While you’ll sit like a stone
In a garden only I tended.
I’ll work the soil,
I’ll plant the seeds,
You won’t have to get your hands dirty.
You can welcome friends,
& woo lovers,
In this patch of heavenly earth
In which I've worked each & every day -
Alone.

Dear God,

It is incomprehensible that God should exist, and it is incomprehensible that he should not exist.

Dear God, if you can hear me - if you do indeed exist, I beg of you to ease my mind. I plead with you to restore my soul. I'm tired, so very tired......yet from this torment I am granted no peace. Please...Please....have mercy on me.

FLOWERS & FAIRIES

I find it sufficient to say that the garden is indeed beautiful, without having to believe there are fairies at the bottom of it!
