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.

Thoughts on love

I love you
You are loved

Words
Used often
Thoughtfully, carelessly
Deeply, casually

Words

I wondered today Lord about love
And thought perhaps you might have
A few ideas

Blue skies
Soft winds
The beauty of the sunrise, golden hued
Coloring with exhuberant joy the world
As it kisses it with light

Rain that nourishes the ground
Sun that warms and brings to birth
Life

Moments and moments
Creation
Called people, Abraham and Moses
Promises kept

Might acts of love
Forgiveness
Sacrifice

A love that will not let me go
The love of a parent greeting a prodigal
The love of a God who lives at the center of who I am
Defining me…. In a grace full way

You are love
You love me
And there is nothing I can do about that……

And there in is love
Creative, joyful, life giving
There is love
Forgiving, giving, listening, caring
Being with and for
Filling

Lord, teach me how to love
