“With what radiant joy he turns to you, and raises you to your feet, and strokes your disheveled hair, and holds you, holds you, holds you close and tenderly—before he vanishes.”
The homie Garry says, “God is the intake of breath and we are the exhaling of it. So… we need to take every breath personally.”
Prayer is as sustaining as a breath and not a plea to God to keep us safe from dangers and temptations or begging for favors. For example: “God answers knee-mails.” Prayer doesn’t work; praying does. Not sure how else we breathe in the God of unfathomable compassion if not by our own spiritual practice and silent solitude. This allows us to land on God’s oceanic shore and it organizes things for us.

As the sun passes over the equator bringing us longer days of sun and warmth, spring is finally here. My frogs sing a welcome song.

Frogs here, frogs there, frogs are jumping everywhere
Lotus Beads (by: Garden of Eve)
My Lotus flowers are rising out of their mud bath. Their leaves repel water and offer these cool water beads.
