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 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
