Unpretentious
Loving kindness is revealed
In our forgiveness

I pray for an extreme application of the principle of Christian mercy.

Throughout our shared lives
As humans we rely on
Improbable hope.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 02/16/11

Children know how to
Open their unguarded hearts
Like no one else can.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 02/17/11

You in me in you
In order to understand
Me in you in me.

[pp 322]
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 02/18/11

Unconditional
Love more than anything else is
Overpowering.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 02/18/11

You in me in you
A common stream of virtue
We in us flowing.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><> 02/18/11

Human compassion
Resonating our concern
For all other things.
