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.

Believe in Love

“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
_______________________

It has been a long night
or a short night

does it really matter

after a day of hearing lies piled upon lies
after reading about a handful of rich people, plan to take health care away for poor people
to benefit rich people

after reading so many statement of fear and hate

I am angry and tired

evil keeps winning
evil keeps gloating
evil keeps manipulating, and hiding
and lying and distorting

and it seems as if there is no reason for faith
or hope

and as if love is losing
big time

what keeps me sane
is walking

in the cool of the morning
as the sun first shows above the horizon

walking through a creation that is amazingly beautiful
and complex

what keeps me sane is
watching the sun rise
and feeling its warmth

watching the clouds turn red, and orange then gold
and seeing the colors bounce of the mountains
and set the grass a fire

then faith is reborn
and hope emerges, however weakly

and I can once again
believe
in
love
