Lazy waking
eyes slowly peeling open
to the persistant mews of
the smallest cat
Gentle movements
of my happy
groggy
husband
The sound of the shower
his whistled tune
glorious alarm
The sound of coffee
beginning to brew
against the
canvas of morning silence
click click click
the dogs nails
saucer eyes asking
for
food
Slow rituals
a lazy brook
contentedly meandering
around
glistening
boulders
Clinking of spoons against
coffee cups
and the
beginnings of
a slow
starting
day.

belief
what's the difference
between what i believed then
and what
i believe now?
believe seems such a weird
and odd
word to me now.
BELIEVE.
What is that anyway?
To state that something
is
TRUE
even though there is no way to know?
I've heard it said
that's what
faith is.
I feel like an ogre
in that I have a problem with the term.
but i do.
Maybe belief and faith
are not the same thing
at all.
Believing may be accepting as true something
something
that
cannot be
or has not
been proven.
Belief in....
A needed savior of the world
Aliens
Joseph Smith and his seer stone
That God wants women to wear burkahs
and the list
goes
on.
So, what has changed for me?
I no longer cling to a belief,
or a doctrine
or specific covenant
but have faith
that
there is something.
and that when i strive to know it
and live from a place of
love
and
responsibility
that
I participate in
God
in
this
moment.
