“Already we sense that the poet’s gift has to do with the kind of attention he brings to life, an offering he sees as the seeds of his art given to meet the longings of others. Everything matters for this to transpire in the patience of waiting, the openness of heart, and the fullness of devoting oneself to what is real, in both the material and spiritual realms within and beyond us. In the process, we find ourselves called to bear witness to the whole of life in the particulars, to what we are aware of as well as what lies hidden...”

“Loving You —after Deuteronomy 6:4–9 Loving You with every beat of my heart, with every breath of my mouth, with all I am and all I have, I affirm the truth of Your Being. Teaching Your love to children, I secure knowledge of You for another generation. Speaking of You when sitting at home, I make my dwelling a sanctuary for self and other. Sharing Your wisdom when walking outside, I make my life a message of hope. Affirming You when lying down I forgive and ask for forgiveness. Proclaiming You when rising up, I dedicate my day to Your Will. Living in You I glove my hands with compassion, and my deeds with justice. I open my eyes to Your Wisdom that my vision be daring and true. I mark moments of meeting with knowledge of Your Presence that my going out and my coming home be in peace.”
