The world around us would be desolate
except for the world within. Wallace Stevens
Corrie Ten Boom spoke of being forced to stand for hours in the cold
of the prison camp with hatred and death all around her
One morning, a bird flew overhead and cheered her
She inwardly took flight
Today, the world may show itself
to be less than kind
Take flight!
Look up and within
There you are!
And no one can take that away.
Peace be with you
and that's poetiquejustis
And the dove returned to Noah as the waters receded
carrying a fresh olive branch. Genesis 8
