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

Mother God

“You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.”
― Thomas Merton

She rocks along the sidewalk
roaring along
smile intact

you would think
this 1.5 year old phenomenon
would remember
the crash just a block back

a tragedy of monumental
proportions
complete with
tears

but no
the past is forgotten
no sense of future danger linger

she just
moves on
impelled by curiosity
embracing the moment

and knowing
that within reach
is a hand
ready to reach down and take hers

On this day
help us to
“to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment,
and to embrace them with courage, faith and hope.”
O Mother God!
