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.

Worn into beauty
“Grief ends up giving you the two best things:
softness and illumination.”
Anne Lamott, Traveling
Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith
_______________________________________________
the pebble rests
gently in my palm
smooth and worn by its journey down
from the heights to this low place
no longer sharp
and wounding
but comfortable and comforting
polished by affliction
its inner beauty shining from
its depths
so too
the worn and beautiful
ones
