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.

We are what we seek


“If it is bread that you seek, you will have bread.
If it is the soul you seek, you will find the soul.
If you understand this secret, you know you are that which you seek.”
― Rumi

We all seek
perhaps it is in our blood
in our very design
to be creatures who stalk in the night

seeking something more
something different
something to satisfy a longing
that seems to permeate our souls

what is it we seek, my beloved
power?
wealth?
love?
peace?

why do seek that which causes us to trample the weak
and grasp and horde?

why do we seek that
which turns us cruel
or cold?

may we seek love
and joy
peace and hope

and seek them
not in the chaos of the world
but in the tangled depths of our souls

for we become what we seek
