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.

Lent -17 The mystery of growth
for there to be morning
there must be night
for there to be recovery
there must be the slow slide into dis-ease
for there to be forgiveness
the must be a wounding
for the new to come
the old must pass away
for something to be found
it must be lost
for there to be resurrection
there must be death
this is the secret woven into the fabric of the universe
ah, the mystery

it's ups and downs, you
know."
Lucy: "But why? Why should it? Why can't my
life be all UPS?
If I want all UPS, why can't I have them?.....Why
can't I just
move from one UP to another UP? Why can't I just
go
from and UP to an UPPER-UP?......I don't want any
Downs!
I Just want Ups and Ups and Ups and Ups!"
