Welcome

Primitive religion is not believed, it is danced!

Arthur Darby Nock

Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God;
And only he who sees takes off his shoes;
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.

Elizabeth Browning

Preganant with God

What lies behind us
and what lies before us
are tiny matters
compared to
what lies within us
Ralph Waldo Emerson

Every moment
we have a choice
every moment we choose
what will drive us
what will control us

will we be defined by the past
with the steps already taken
or will we be controlled
by
the futures we hopefully
or fearfully envision

or will we be
shaped
defined
moved
that by that which is at
the center of our souls

by the seed of the sacred
that simply waits within us
waiting for us to nourish it
and let it grow
this little seed of the Spirit
waiting to be born

like Mary
we are pregnant with the sacred
and each day
our task is to allow this seed
to flourish
and bring it to birth

we are the carriers
of
life

  1. I'm cool with all that, Steve, as long as it doesn't make me a "birther"!
