Beyond the Veil
We’re on the wrong side of the veil. Here with the rocks and stones, Where our carcass lies And slowly turns to dirt again. While on the other side, the light and wind of God blows by And in a sun-like shaft of light The Spirit frees and soars. To slip beyond that veil, AndContinue reading “Beyond the Veil”
Goodbye Brother Bill…
In ancient Egypt they believed at the transition from this world to the next, you were asked two questions that determined whether or not you might continue your journey.

A Little Light Goes A Long Way
My view from the pew: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that.

A midsummer night’s dream…
Most midsummer night’s evening I sit quietly with an adult beverage watching each moment of light fade to dark and think of my brother, Tony Fabio with whom I spent so many such nights as a younger man.

We came to marriage late, so we were already late to parenting. And while all and everyone around us, to us anyway, seemed to beContinue reading ““I know that pain…” An open letter to Simon.”
Triduum; funny looking word…
The Easter Triduum, Holy Triduum, Paschal Triduum, or The Three Days is the period near the end of Holy Week that begins with the liturgy on the evening of Maundy Thursday, or Holy Thursday, and ends with Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday. It recalls the passion, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. It is known as the “Paschal Mystery” because for Christians it is the fulfillmentContinue reading “Triduum; funny looking word…”
Hypocrite!
Hypocrite is a Greek word that means “actor;” someone playing a role rather than being “real.” And any truly great actor will tell you that to excel in any role they must find the character within themselves and make that “false self” into a “true self” in the context of the “play.” You see, theContinue reading “Hypocrite!”
“Every man’s death diminishes me.”
The use of chemical weapons on a trapped and vulnerable civilian population is beyond atrocity and most certainly a crime against humanity, but consider this… While the Health Department in Idlib Province where the recent Serin gas attacks took place reports 69 people died in this attack, the Syrian Network For Human Rights (SNHR) reportsContinue reading ““Every man’s death diminishes me.””
