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.

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
