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

The Eternal is at Home

The eternal is at home – within you.
The eternal is not elsewhere; it is not distant.
There is nothing as near as the eternal….
Behind the façade of our normal lives eternal destiny is shaping our days and our ways.
                                                                John O’Donohue, Anam Cara, p.90
________________________________

we seek eternity
we strive to find paradise
we want to be shaped by Sacred power

so we study
and pray
we meditate

we travel to exquisite places
we climb into the heavens
we go to the ends of earth

seekers

yet all our seeking leaves us
homesick
and wanting still

until tired and without hope
we trudge home

only to find
that what we sought

we carried within

all along
