EACH HAND, EACH FINGER, OFFERS COMMUNE... BLESSINGS IN FULFILLMENT...
EACH HAND, EACH FINGER, OFFERS COMMUNE...
BLESSINGS IN FULFILLMENT...
In time of call, in time of need
And to another I with heart to give
'Tis only what I in heart command
Be known to another as a helping hand
Be they the WAY given to Truth, Power, Love, Grace
Within the chambers of heart to place
Each finger holding purpose and claim
Blessed they BE in our Lord's name.
In time of call, in time of need,
in prayerful gestures of faith.

The pulse of 2025
The pulse of 2025
~ may it be of power, peace, grace and agape love ~
... JOY AS ONE... 2025
Looking back to days now gone, now past
Looking to the future, days new, days vast
This NOW, what we perceive it to be
A choice ever held by a you, by a me
Many a decision, ours to reach, to make
From the domains of thought and vision we partake
A mind with purity of purpose, intent and direction
Is itself life's questing passion and perfection
Shaper we are of each yesterday and a tomorrow to come
We with the MAKER, our will as JOY as ONE.

Image: Janus
In Roman mythology, Janus (or Ianus; "archway") was the
god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings and endings.
His most prominent remnant in modern culture is his namesake,
the month of January, which begins the new year.
NEW TIDINGS 2025
This New Year to unfold
Its gifts in full yet to behold
For this moment in grace known
For the grandeur of nature ever shown
For the snows of Winter soon to blanket all
For the budding of life Spring to call
For the beauty Summer brings to you
For the splendor each Fall in brilliant hue
Signs, markings, the stars, the zodiac to chart
The NOW in Presence, each vision bears its start
The moment, day and passing year
In gratitude for life evermore dear
A knowing of an inner spirit of calm
Love and faith shielding all from harm
Cold be winter's winds now that blow
Upon my face sun's warming glow
In joyful reverence this day gifted new
Creation's love, praise and favor on to you
What be the Light that you in heart hold dear
Bring these supernal visions to this, A New Year.
