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.

Elizabeth Browning

Somethin' ain't right

“First the fish needs to say: Somethin' ain't right about this CAMEL ride...and I'm feeling so damned THIRSTY.”  ― Hafiz

Lord
on this Sabbath

let us take the time to breathe
to walk through the crispy air
of a fall morning

to see the gentle sky
coming to life
with colors
that only You could imagine

let us wonder at the trees
the clouds
the majesty of the mountains
newly crowned with snow

let us drink deeply of the smells of the earth
and may our hearts sing
at the first burst of light
when the sun finally rises

may we take each step
thoughtfully

may we come to our senses
and know
that we were not made for the chaos
the fear
the rat race

not made for TV marathons
and restless attempts to manufacture joy

but

that we were made for YOU
and for
this
one
moment
