This is a journey going on still taking English words forming poems like pixels making the digital page you are now reading. Poems telling about The Holy Trinity, telling about me, about our relationship. Hope these lived poems accompany your own journey with God.

Intersected world
I fear living in an intersected world
like experiencing a storm in a boat.
Poor, rich, young, old, single, coupled,
queer, straight, and so on,
if these groups meet an intersection forms
at some point.
Then all I see is how different we are
because we walk different paths
meeting as if today will be the last
tomorrow we will see
without seeing common grounds
like our humanity, our sensibility,
nuestra sensibilidad.
Fearing our differences in an intersected world
imagining living a storm in a boat.
Then I run to you, who says, “where is your faith?”*
I pray and send good vibes to all of us
how lucky I am to have you around.
Based on Luke 8:25
You Call Me
My mind gets busier
with past visuals and memoirs.
You call me
closing my eyes
I visualize you with open arms.
I embrace you, learn from you.
Gentle, humble in heart
easy and light you are.
Myself loved by you.
You are and I am.
Birds fly when opening my eyes.
Now, I know, I rested on you
while being like that.
Lovely are your ways my Lord.
Based on Matthew 11:28-30
Solitude, Silence, Deserts.
Today I heard about how solitude, silence, deserts in spiritual life could actually be helpful in deeping our relationship with God.
These words Illuminated hidden knowledge, wisdom taking space somewhere until its message can be transmitted to somebody else. Guessing that somebody was I. The comment came out of a video I watched on YouTube, a catholic talk.
I know from experience about the existence of these states of being. Usually when living solitude, silence, deserts, I find there are not entertaining activities to kill time with, nothing else to do, no places to go to get distracted, no person to talk, not a good option to choose. Everything existing is solitude, silence, deserts.
Sometimes they come to me when resisting impulses inviting me to go somewhere or to do something knowing that going there or doing so is a bad idea. These states may come naturally even if I do not want them.
Gratefully I know God is with me at all times. All I need to do is to embrace solitude, silence, deserts and pray to Holy Trinity telling everything I feel and think. Prayers become like a bouquet of flowers to be place in God’s altar.
I pray for us all, so we all can remember from any source Holy Trinity is with us always, even if we need to wait for a while in solitude, silence, and deserts.
God bless you.
Peace Must Be The Result
In an error and trial life
peace must be the result
all the time.
It is hard to make peace
easier to play along
but if not working it on
things can go wrong.
Peace should always be
but it isn’t on its own
by trusting God to life
it stays insideout.
Better not to say
when there is no inner peace
hard to cope all the time.
I tell myself.
Feeling Loved
Guided by God
remembering moments
when I felt loved.
Closing my eyes
images came to mind
my family, my best friend, my dad.
Some are from on-line
some from real times I had.
A pale creamy rose color cloud
took place on my vision
coming from the left side.
Opening my eyes
I realize
here I am
in my unit
nicely warm
happy because I can go and come back
from memories to the present now
feeling loved.
