They sent me home after a week stay in Havenwyck.
After a pretty sorry attempt to end my life.
He wouldn’t let me in.
He gave me 24 hours to evacuate.
I felt like the people hanging on rope ladders
leaving the American Embassy in Viet Nam.
26 years.
This is why I don’t know how to be loved.

Take it down, girl.
Why the angst?
Others are content
In grocery lines
talking 'bout their
neighbor's fall from grace
and mortgage rates
and the price of Wheaties.
Take it down, girl.
Look at the changing sky
and the newborn.
The answer will remain.
Take it down, girl.
Tongues in Trees
Find tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stone and good in everything.

Men die and are born again
Under the same sky.

USA 'r Us
Jesus said "My kingdom is not of this world."
I do not feel represented by the "Religious Right."
God is unknowable to my limited sadly human mind.
How can I be so certain of His position on the role of
women, capitol punishment, contraception, politics, or
the love of a gay couple.
My faith is woven by the very doubt that gives it strength and
humility. In this cultural climate, being a Christian in
America is synonymous with being a "conservative
Republican."
I'm opposed to any politicization of the Gospels.
Jesus belonged to no political party, nor do I.
How many will not receive His message when it's
been injected with hate?

Writing is like talking to myself.
When I argue with a word, who has the upper hand?
It...........You or Me?
Women
Be kind to women, for they make up half the population, and are mothers of the other half.
Even God cannot change the past.

How do people find their way?
I marvel at their internal compass.
As simple as looking at the sky, they tell me where I am
and how to get to the next place.
They ravel off directions, I taking shorthand, I giving up,
hoping to catch a landmark along the way.
The second I slam the car door,
I’m back in the maze, only knowing it’s somewhere.
Searching and crying down a nameless dark street.
