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.

Grow, Grow

“According to the Talmud, every blade of grass has its own angel bending over it, whispering, “Grow, grow.”
― Barbara Brown Taylor, An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith

Angels watching over me O Lord
Angels watching over me!

as the wind blows
and bends me toward the earth

as age slows my body and my mind

as I drag along
into the new day
old wounds and hurts
old hate

as I stand
weakly rooted in the fabric of the universe
Sacred is calling
grow
grow

be joyful
be loving
be generous

stretch your very being toward the
heavens

and grow
