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.

Knowing God -

Since no one really knows anything about God,

those who think they do are just troublemakers

Ah, God
up there
out there
unknowable
really really big
infinite

wait!

Ah, God
down here
baby sized
inside
Holy Spirit
knowable
infinite in the finite

the Word became flesh
and walked among us
full of love and grace

unexpected
unpredictable
scandalous
a friend of the poor
the wounded

a person of compassion
 who gave
and forgave
who healed the sick
clothed the poor
fed the hungry
healed those who were wounded
by nature and life

it is not that we do not know God
we forget
what we know
