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.

For Sharon

She graces our lives
with her flaming hair
her even brighter smile
her compassion that seems
to have no end

she loves everyone
truely
if there were a saint
Sharon
would be that person
 
a saint knows (thank you Hafiz)
that in the 
chess game of live
God makes amazing moves
 
and 
as life happens
can only
burst out in laughter
and say
"I surrender"

and leave it up to God

Sharon is such a soul
saint
and I do not use that term lightly

cancer 

has become a part of my dear friends reality
and yet
cancer
does not define her
she is still

the smiling 
laughing
compassion
loving
soul she always way
 
Sharon is Sharon
and because she
is
I have hope
not only for Sharon
but for each of us
 
Sharon is
grace
 
personified
