The worst thing we ever did was put God in the sky out of reach pulling the divinity from the leaf, sifting out the holy from our bones, insisting God isn’t bursting dazzlement through everything we’ve made a hard commitment to see as ordinary, stripping the sacred from everywhere to put in a cloud man elsewhere, prying closeness from your heart. The worst thing we ever did was take the dance and the song out of prayer made it sit up straight and cross its legs removed it of rejoicing wiped clean its hip sway, its questions, its ecstatic yowl, its tears. The worst thing we ever did is pretend God isn’t the easiest thing in this Universe available to every soul in every breath. ~Chelan Harkin 7-10-22 (at Yonkers, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf2T95MFRko/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“HYMN FOR THE FUTURE” May you always know pain
as temporary and laughter better.

May the universe bless you
with the perseverance to try harder.

May you build a kinder history
than the ruins that you were given.

May the greatest gift you receive 
be more than just a life, 
but a life where the world is safer, 
a life so full of love and joy
that it is worth living.

"What we need most in order to make progress is to be silent before this great God with our appetites and our tongue, for the language He best hears is SILENT LOVE.” “Where there is no love, put love and you will draw out love.” ~St. John of the Cross, OCD Maxims and Counsels 5-19-22 (at Major Deegan Expwy) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdx2R8irid6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
