A collection of poems I wrote just before, during, and after my visit to Israel in 2002. Much of this is very spiritual in nature and contains Christian themes, so do not read if you find Christianity offensive. It is not my intention to offend anyone.

I am Mary not Martha
Luke 10: 38-42
When my Lord is near I do not occupy
myself with preparations
I do not busy myself with worries
Oh no, I sit quiet
and bask in his presence
Nothing is more important
than listening to Him speak
His words are golden, soothing,
solid assurances
and I would not miss a one
Do not call to me from the kitchen
demanding I abandon my post
Do not cry to my savior to rebuke me
to send me packing
with my head hung in shame
to aid you,
in your parties and packages
your brunches and outings
your busy work that helps you
feel useful
For He will tell you
that I have chosen the better of these things
and it will not be taken from me
because I am Mary
not Martha
and I sit at the feet of God
