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.

God as Verb
God must be understood as a verb, calling, informing
and shaping us and all creation into being all that we were created to be….
John
Spong, The Fourth Gospel: Tales of a Jewish Mystic

presence
it all comes down to presence
the sacred “tenting” inside these
rather fragile vessels
common clay
the stuff of earth
presence
sacred interwoven into
our very being
“verbing”
moving
loving
forgiving
giving
blessing
expanding
enriching
evolving
creating
restoring
reconciling
healing
re-creating
the arrival of sacred into this space
is not a matter of space invaders
some alien being choosing to come
into space
not sacred
from sacred
it was the revelation of sacred
within sacred
this earth is sacred space
we are sacred space
YHWH (for lack of a name)
“I AM” (you think we would have gotten the point)
is a presence
a force of nature
not only among us
but in us
verbing
sacred presence
never static
but moving
like the wind
