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.

Mercy within mercy within mercy
Thomas Merton once said…. “Mercy within mercy,
within mercy.” It’s as if we collapse
into deeper nets of acceptance, deeper nets of being enclosed and finally find
we’re in a net we can’t fall out of. We
are captured by grace.
Richard
Rohr

mercy
within mercy
within mercy
god’s safety net
for those of us
who sometimes fall
for all of us
big hands, like those of a loving father
catching us as we fall
gentle hands, like those of a mother
gently holding
picking us up
holding us up
mercy
