I am a wanderer. I would say that I am a seeker, but sometimes I have no idea what I might be seeking, so I will stick with wanderer. This blog is more a public journal than anything. I don't claim to have life figured out. I simply stumble from mystery to mystery, and share my reflections along the way. Sometimes I feel burdened, and trudge. Sometimes? Well sometimes grace breaks through, and its time to dance.

We Were Born Singing
The minute we arrive
we are born singing (Mark Nepo)
Ah!
You thought that was a cry
and it was
a cry from the heart
about fear
and hunger
and yes
breath
that need to breathe
and become part of life
to give voice to what is
keeps us breathing
to voice our hope
our fear
our love
to learn to give voice
to the cries of our heart
to learn to have a voice
when we praise God
we sing
when we weep
we sing
when we share our pain and give voice
to the emptiness within
we sing
and having giving our song
a way out
we have also created a way in
for the song of the universe
the songs of others
the song of God
so sing
give voice to anything
just sing
