The clever man knows what to do 
and how to do it
The wise man does it

Science is worship


Science is worship because it is, 
first and foremost, 
the steady observation 
of what God has put into motion
 through nature; - His creation, 
dreamed and spoken into being.

Destiny is a lighthouse that will lead
you home!
What can I say about myself but, "I wanted to do this but did not!"
if I do not do what is in my heart to do?
what will the world say about me once I've come and gone
only having spoken about the desire burning in me?
what can be said of such a man?
"He was a good son, a reliable friend," or maybe "He was a good husband and father?"
perhaps the opposite is true and all he left was disappointment in his wake.

Who knows for certain what will be said and what will be silenced of such a man?
But one thing you can be sure of not being said by the man or about the man who did not follow his hearts cry is this:
"I/He fulfilled the good destiny that was purposed for me/him!"
For he himself will know the deafness carried in his soul
and the world will see it in the dispirited sheet covering his eyes
Destiny will not and can not be hid, whether fulfilled or not.

By God's grace


Like a dog chasing its short tail, the east the west.

I’m a fragrant bud, sin a bare twig.

MILK AND HONEY


Great men make great conquests
of lesser lands, for in everything
they see that which could be.

We live in a world both
ordered and chaotic.
We live in a world full
of surprises!

DOORWAYS


Actions are the doorways to emotions,
they make way for a response.

Wellsprings of life


The world says a man's lack of self-scrutiny
is the root of his spiritual lack;
but how can this be when God Himself
is the source of all spiritual life?

The heart of your greatest fear

Divinity


To see things and read words, is human
but to feel and truly understand it all, is divine

Prophets

We all are prophets;
the words we speak,
the actions of our lives,
determine our tomorrows

Untimely death

Pink salmon breaks through
the thinning ice roof and dies
squirming in the sun

Dish up love

I've sat at a table of love eating
stale bread and my soul was satisfied
then I've been dished an exquisite meal
by people disgruntled with me and felt
like vomiting! So give me love
and a loaf of stale bread

Love triumphs

Where there is hate, there is death
where there is love, there is life
and when hate confronts love
ultimately, love triumphs

Black and white

On this, the 16th of December, South Africa's day of reconcilliation, it might be apt to ponder the beauty of black and white, side by side.

My God

There's nothing impossible for You God
You make a way where there seems to be none
Your Spirit cuts through mountains like torrents
of water, like a burning knife through polystyrene
and all around the land bursts into song
springs into colour, every living thing
is satisfied with the riches of Your love
even those who hate You, refusing
to believe in You, eat at Your table
so great is Your mercy

i sing with joy to the Lord, my Lord God
He is exceedingly good to me
He is the mighty Lord, rocks cry out to Him
mighty mountains crumble at His rebuke
surging waters swirl around His beautiful
feet, He is exalted, even in the high
heavens. Stars, planets, demons and angels
all fall before Him.

Who can resist His power? There's not one,
no, not even one! Therefore i put
my trust in Him, my face will never ash,
with weakness, nor my cheeks blush with shame
for He holds me in His hands. i will go
about the earth like a lion, roaring
His name in the power of His Spirit

The munificence of the Lords' mercy
burns like the melting of the universe
i bow down at His feet.

Sun and rain

The sun alone scorches
rain alone floods
but a little bit of sun
and a lick of rain
bring life

Abandoned love

Those who mete their love out like the sharing of crumbs from a loaf of bread
stand to suffer more from the lack of love than those who love with an abandon
