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.

The Face of God

..
Dear God, please reveal to us
your sublime
beauty

that is everywhere, everywhere, everywhere,

so that we will never again
feel frightened

my divine love, my love,
please let us touch
your face

                                St. Francis of Assisi

the light shines in the darkness
gently blossoming
from closed night
to morning

in the pale light
snow falls
softly
drifting down

the ground
a  sparkling white comforter
embracing a shivering earth

smooth and clean
as yet unmarred

like the virgin beauty of a child’s soul

a horse stands
white mantled
staring over a fence capped
with snow
waiting

and I can only stand
and stare
in
wonder

my soul caressed
by
the beautiful
face of
God
