Rosemary's Blessing of The Week:

I was regretting the past

And fearing the future.

Suddenly my Lord was speaking

“My name is I AM.”

He paused.  I waited

He continued,

John reading from Jonah.

“When you live in the past

With its mistakes and regrets,

It is hard.  I am not there.

My name is not I WAS.

“When you live in the future,

With its problems and fears,

It is hard.  I am not there.

My name is not I WILL BE.

“When you live in this moment,

It is not hard. I am here.

My name is I AM.”

I Am by Helen Mallicoat

In connection with our First Blessing of The Men:

Life is a circle; it's beginning is its end,

Going on forever, beginning when time began.

Enclosed within the circle is every thought of love, 

Gliding on the winds of time, on the wings of a dove.

In the center of the circle is the hardened core of hate,

Bringing upon the wars of the world and may someday bring its fate.

But then life is a circle; it's beginning is it's end,

Going on forever beginning when time began.

 Life is a circle; it's beginning is it's end,

As it was in the beginning it shall be again.

Poem by our David Hoover
