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 Space inbetween
Grace is not something God gives; grace is who God
is. Grace is God’s official job description. Grace is what God does to keep all
things that God has created in love alive--forever. If we are to believe the primary
witnesses--the mystics, the saints, the transformed people--an unexplainable
goodness is at work in the universe.

In the space in between
God lives
In the space “in between”
God loves
In the space “in between”
myself and “the other”
the one loved
or even hated
the one I know intimately
the one from whom I am alienated
in that space
God is
drawing together
filling the gap that separates
healing
being the conduit
through which understanding
and compassion
and yes
love
flows
