Prayer is a law of the universe, like gravity. You don't even have to believe in God to ask.

So loving is the universe, so joyful, so determined to give us everything we need and to love us and show us the way to live, too, that we are beaten to the ground, boiled by God's waves, as we play in the surf.

When I'm having trouble I write by hand. There is some connection between the mind and the fingers that draws out words.

Angels live no place, as God lives no place. They live in the space of eternity, in the center of our hearts, and sometimes I think we each serve as the channels and angels of God, touched by wings of silence, pushed to angelic acts.

I rarely see a dead bird on the ground.
