a humble prayer...
Strange, disheartening and scary are the ways of the world....Lord, grant me the wisdom to know right from wrong and grant me the courage to always choose the right path...

Let you and I be
And stop measuring love
Let us tell ourselves
That we give each other
The best we can.
End the debate
and to save time
lets us just "know" that we love each other.
Let us make this marriage work;
This marriage of opposites
And the countless "you don't love me enough".
And be grateful to God to have given us
A reason to be with each other.
Let us appreciate the humanity in each
And give ourselves the chance to live.
Let us try and see the goodness in each
And worry about the lack in our own self.
Let us ponder over the ties that bond us
And give rest to issues that drift us apart.
Lets us carry each other
To the unseen shores
And the memories to come.
Let You and I be
and celebrate that which holds us together.Friday, November 6, 2009

an ode to TS Eliot
- Where is the Life we have lost in living?
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
- The last temptation is the greatest treason:
To do the right deed for the wrong reason.
- And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you:
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.
- In my end is my beginning
-And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
- Between the idea
And the reality
Between the emotion
And the act
Falls the Shadow.
- This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
- Because I do not hope to turn again
Because I do not hope
Because I do not hope to turn
- The intolerable wrestle
With words and meanings.
- Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future,
And time future contained in time past.
