103 Days - 116 poems - 15 Posts (Poem 84)
Dear Readers,
tonight poem is inspired by first reading of the day at mass
when the angel of the Lord addressed Gideon in these words:
"The Lord is with you, O Champion". Our God is an awesome God!
He is a God who gives us victory even before we see and consider
ourselves anywhere near or deserving to be victorious. Jgs 6:11-24

124 Days - 142 Poems - 19 Posts (Poem 58)
Dear Readers,
Today's Poem is inspired by something that has been puzzling me for a while. The more it puzzles me, the more my eyes open, and the more I am aware of how unaware we are of it. Maybe I mentioned this before but my favorite verse in the
Scriptures is Luke 2:19 "As for Mary, she treasured all these things and pondered them in her heart". Every January 1st, I eagerly look forward to hear these words repeated in the Gospel.
Why am I mentioning it? I had often seen pondering as reflecting, digesting situations like Queen Esther before speaking up. I often believe that there is power in a woman and a man who seek to understand before reacting. We may not always be successful, but it is worth the try.
Nowadays, the more I have become allergic to gossiping, the more my eyes open. The more they open the more I am allergic to gossiping, and the more I have come to comprehend another angle of Luke 2:19, and why there is so much about the tongue in the Old Testament - we must strive to not have a loose tongue - whether men and/or women.
It is incredible how much is done with the tongue - I have always believed that it is the one member of the body who commits crimes for which it never goes to jail.
The tongue is powerful - use it to bless yourself and others. Stay away from wishing yourself ill or to be more direct from cursing yourself and/or others.
I am still recovering from this weekend's retreat but will surely post the poem picked this week by a Blessed soul.

136 Days - 158 Poems - 20 Posts (Poem 42)
Dear Readers,
Today's poem springs from the passage of Luke 9:49-50 where a man is not with the Apostles yet he is using the name of Jesus, and what a beautiful reply from our Lord. It is one of my favorite passages. I am happy that it was the word that I got to meditate on, and I am as well thrilled that the Holy Spirit inspired me to write on it; the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus.

150 Days - 174 Poems - 22 Weekly Posts (Poems 25, 26)
Hello my readers,
there are 10 min left before midnight, and I just finished writing.
Writing today unfolds slowly but surely throughout the day.
What inspired me today is a theme that kept repeating itself again
and again.
Children are the best example of attachment and detachment. So one poem
was inspired by them (Poem 25) --- 150 /175/22
We are often called to renounce the world, our wealth,
ourselves in many ways. Conversations seemed to evolve around that. (Poem 26)
Once we reach that level we can say - God will provide...
