Rod's random thoughts All of us are out here in the same puddle, rowing or oarless.
The important thing to remember is not to throw mud at one another.

The love of God is love’s highest aspiration.

Sometimes if you stop to weigh love, you find the scales completely empty.

With so little love and kindness shouted out to us, winter can be long.

CHRISTMAS CRACKERS

Happy Christmas
and I love your ears.
Tomorrow we’ll untie the package
                  of another year,
Twelve more months of summer
                        if you stay.
             winter if you go.

Who said that Christmas crackers
hold surprises just for children?
I seldom let the daylight
come into the bedroom first
whatever time of year,
because I want to be
            the first to gaze upon you
as you begin your day.
I want you always as that first surprise.

If I’m selfish
it’s only that I love you
as I’ve loved this year just past
and as I love that still uncertain year ahead.
