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.

All of Me
What you don't transform
you transmit.
Richard Rohr
___________________________________
Lord
some days it comes to me
the shocking news
that my faith is far more about
me
than about You
It is all too often a search
for myself
rather than a search for You
(an insight from Rohr)
and yet
and yet
while I am search for my self
I am also running from my self
afraid of
the dark side of my soul
that part I want no one
especially not You, to see
as if
but God
your are amazingly unimpressed with
with my dark side
and You know
O God
that those hidden parts
are really the
parts
I transmitt
through my words and my actions
Lord
shine Your light in the dark places
help me
to accept your acceptance
help me to accept my self
my whole self
that I might be comfortable in my own skin
that I might be transformed
that I might
transmit
love
