By Ilse Kramer
He is the song within the silence
He is the heart that beats in all our hearts
He is the knife that clears the wilderness
He is the road for every pilgrim
He is the key to paradise regained
He is the falling star the rising sun
He is the tears of all repentant sinners
He bleeds and falls

		<description><![CDATA[A Prayer for Lent and Easter
By Terri Leander
During this sacred season of Lent, may we observe the circumstances of our lives that are representations of our individual journeys to the crosses that we all bear: whether we express them openly or keep them in the dark tombs of the silence in our souls.
May we use [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Gift of the Rose

By Susan Swain Tabor
That rose is free, he said to me
It’s been in its pot for an eternity
No one wants it – and neither do we.
Last chance or it goes into the trash!
I thought that that was rather rash
Seeing that it has potential to last.
Says the tag: Small and delicate is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[THE CONVICTING EXPERIENCE
By May Cornelia Grant
In middle age, in the midst of adversity, I found the gift of faith.
It seemed to be waiting, as if prepared from the beginning.
Above me, dark-stained ceiling beams cast deepening shadows.
Stair railings add another barrier in a set of angles.
Overhead curtains drawn closed above my sofa.
The scene appears:  An [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Walking the Dogs in Winter
By Marge Leard
Adeep in tangled mem’ries of dreams gone bad,
What senses morning in this Winter’s cold?
No Summer brightness,
No yellow globe of piercing light,
No azure sky to greet my day.
Yet blooming in the eastern sky, a stealthy pink assails my lids.,
And I awake.
Not yet six o’clock and pinkness whispers,
“Look! See my beauty [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shear (Sheer) Joy
By
Hope Madison (for Ruth Edwards)
Maine’s twilight winds remain yet crisp,
Circumference of the moon a wisp.
Sheep huddle in the friendly barn,
Oblivious of colored yarn
Turned into sweaters, mitts and socks,
The while grandmother hums and rocks.
Like Hope the sheep are very sure
Their thoughts of you will long endure.

Hope Madison was a faithful member of Central Church [...]]]></description>

Hi, I am Rose!
I never stop moving,
As everyone knows. 
Don’t blow a promise,
But blow me a kiss.
A weasel&#8217;s a weasel
It is what it is.
When I’m talking to God,
I’m doing my prayering,
And I do hope He hears
Each word I am sayering.
