*...Pope Francis has said he would follow JohnXXIII's motto which was, "See everything; turn a blind eye to much; correct a little."
-Living Faith

*Everything Depends

on being

in

on eating

 what is

within 

yet beyond

not being 

up

but down 

wardly

mobile

-Jerry Schroeder, Cap.

looking back

looking back

looking back

looking back for the moment

the place

the pleasure

the peace

the experience of joy in the moment gone

gone since the Then

when all of me was flying high

on a cloud of "always"

of "when-ever"

of "again and again"

but now

memory attempts a recall

of "when i was"

oh, how i sulk o'er the garbage of ev'ryday

o'er the thrust of "must and can't"

o'er "my-way and wants"

o'er the drudgery and dust

as i stare back to Then

"the moment"

the pace 

the joy

the pleasure

the peace

that's gone
