Where can I learn to love? I have learned much In institutions of Learning But, Not how to love. How can I love another When I do not know how to love Myself? Why even talk of love? Because There is nothing That people Desire more. We all want To love To be loved In our homes At our work In our relationships We want with all our hearts to love, To be loved When we love the most intensely And most humanly Our love is like a fever The withness and Intensity of love Brings with it suffering, Of course, But joy too Because it is The world We want Even if it is Not the world That is Yet. © Timothy E.

This Day
This Day
My blessed Creator has acted toward me with
goodness and kindness
He has returned my soul to me
the soul that fills my whole body
Before I open my eyes
I draw my Creator to me
Before I open my ears
I draw my Creator to me
Before I open my mouth
I draw my Creator to me
Before I open my mind
I draw my Creator to me
I follow this practice
So that all my deeds will be holy on this day
As it is written
“I foretell the end from the beginning”
(Isaiah 46:10)
