Saint Augustine

I watched a movie about Saint Augustine. Two parts. A total of 3 hours. His ambition, his talents, gave him worldly pleasures. Yet, something gnawed at him. Was it his mother's continual prayers for her son? He, so strongly against The Church that worshipped Jesus, fought against their right even to exist. Amazing transformation, when he found himself unable to argue for the Emperor. His heart, touched by the simple faith, ached for more. His knowledge, deep, and thorough, couldn't give him peace.

He turned towards truth, and truth found him.

I think that is all we have to do.

Just turn and look at the truth.

Then truth finds us.

And we have peace.

Dreams Fulfilled

Dreams Fulfilled

Clear blue sky

What is beyond the blue?

The clouds, small fluffs, transparent 

gliding in the wind.

What carries them?

The ground we stand on

Planning our future

Aging twisted trees, with small new stems

ready to produce sweetness

decorate our horizon

Behind us

A small dip in the land

once held a lake

where we stood

Hand in hand

And you said to me

"One day, I  will put a house here."

Such a peaceful day that was

What has carried us from that point 

to this one?

Like the wind carries the clouds

God's hand, on our shoulder

We float, freely, allowing 

the invisible force to guide us.

My heart cannot contain the joy

I feel.

We both weep, and kneel, and thank

God for his love.

Invisible to the eye.

but visible to the heart.
