I asked a friend in wonder, “Will there be / any cats in Heaven?” My friend replied / with confidence, surprised, “Oh yes indeed, / of course, lots of cats in Heaven!”

There is a tide that flows through every life; / initially the steady, surging swell delivering / a new-born soul, the image of Omnipotence, / as sun and moon and planets all aglow rejoice.

Diverse are the flavors of faith.

Oceans afar, oxygenators, champions of the sea, / whales and dolphins, all smiling restorers, / resolutely hunt with energy and surf with glee.
