Reflections

Life



Journey’s end ----                                          
Journey’s yet begun ---
And so I go Lord
Only because you ask this of me.
For some unending reason
You have found favour with me
And have now shared
The totality of Your Being ---
As far as my heart can grasp.
Life’s end ---
Life’s true beginning.             Amen.

My Teddy Bear


Ever gentle – Ever loving

May this small being ever share with you
The total wonderment of life 
Of love.

May his quiet, gentle ways 
Guide you to the loving gentleness               
Of our Father.

May his patient, forgiving heart
Lead you deeply
Into the healing arms of our God.

May his faithful, loving presence
Draw you ever more
Into the comforting presence of our Lord.

May his unity with his Being
Bring you fully
Into the Oneness of your Being.

And may your life be lived as His
In peaceful, gentle, loving
Acceptance of all your being.

Forever at one 
With self
With other
With God.

P.S.  Isn’t it marvelous that we never grow too old to be loved by our teddy bears.
