In the Pacific, On the Ocean
The seas and their ways
Today it’s so mild and mellow
Smooth ride with gentle rocking that induces sleep…
In Your Church
I found myself irresistibly drawn
To Him, the source of clarity in confusion
Strength in weakness, a quiet presence
Deepened in me the awareness…
In An Old Age Home
John Paul Village, Heathcote,
Engadine, Sutherland Shire, Sydney
With the author of life, in silence, adore
The ebbing of life…
Being in No Man’s Land
A phrase to express ‘being between factions’
Between contests, between positions
A place where one can only precariously be
One and the other…
Opus Dei
The work of God unfolds
Everywhere and every time
Here in Hamilton, too,
An Opus Dei Centre, unveiled …
Leaving Swanson, Auckland
Remember the welcome at the airport
Preceded by a prolonged preparation
For an unusual guest to a devout family
(though not ostentatious)…
Rain, Rain, New Zealand Rain
Taupo Motel Room
Waken up by the Rumbling
Thunder for the first time
And it came like rolling rocks
Quite unlike the gentle breezy
drizzles of slightest droplet…
I went Riding
Riding Pillion, Riding Royal
On a BMW Bike with all its gear
Blue tooth and earplugs to the hilt
The radio is on and a conversation going…
Walking in San Francisco
Remembering the useful days and childhood times,
When the sort of reaching this megacity was just a dream.
Now, here, I am walking the streets of San Francisco
Your Welt, Seine World
You don’t see the world for anyone other than yourself.
You don’t see the world other than the way you see it.
You don’t see the world the way you do
Thinking someone else will see the same way.
