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.

Astonishing Light


I wish I could show you,
When you are lonely or in the darkness,
The Astonishing Light
Of your own Being!

the world is dark
there is no other way to put it

the shortest day of the year
(soon arriving)
Leaves us getting up in the dark
Leaving home in the dark
Getting home in the dark
And spending our evenings, completely in dark

we know darkness

and yet we are told
that a light shines in the darkness
and it cannot be extinguished

ever
ever
ever

to find it?
Look inside
Yes, there
In another place you often think of as dark
The deep place
Where Sacred lives

Look inside
For there glows Sacred Presence

Its astonishing, really!
What is there

Think of it as a baby
Nestled in a manger
Pure Light

Pure love
