GOLDEN PEARLS

Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. - Dr. Seuss

HOPE

Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime,
Therefore, we are saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;
Therefore, we are saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone.
Therefore, we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite a virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;
Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.

I AM

I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something.
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do
The something that I can do.

DIALOGUES IN DUST

Old book of poems:
As I embrace you I wonder
Who has fondled you
Through these many years?
Wrinkled cover, Bent spine,
Loose now in the binding,
Dusty pages and hands;
We are alike.
As we touch,
Your dynamic words;
Though statically dead
These many years,
Resurrect within me.
Giving echoing evidence of
The living spirit
Of your dead creator.
You represent for me,
Materialization of spirit!
Spiritualization of matter!
Even more
You become for me a symbol,
Pointing to The Eternal One
Who Created we three in silence,
As His very eloquent act;
Showing wisdom and power,
Raising dust to life ,
Once more.
-- Michael Hickey
a writer from Pelican Bay and Swampscott.
