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 Long Journey


The longest journey you will make in your life
Is from your head to your heart
                                                an old Sioux saying
______________________________________________

faith
is a matter of the heart

it is not about knowledge
it is not about rules
it is not about theological constructs

it is about loving the Sacred
it is about letting the Sacred run rampant in your
heart
and your soul

grace
is a matter of the heart

so many of us know
we are loved by God
so many of us know (intellectually)
that we are valuable, unique

and yet
that has never made it from our heads
to our hearts

and so we struggle
and sit alone in the darkness
in the middle of the night
with our own personal demons

never having taken to heart
that we are loved
and truly
a child of God

Lord, slow our minds
quicken our hearts
