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 Infinite Yes

“I thank you God for this most amazing day, for the leaping greenly spirits of trees, and for the blue dream of sky and for everything which is natural, which is infinite, which is yes.”
― E.E. Cummings

sometimes it feels like we live in a world of “no”
flowers wither
and the trees become barren
snow falls
the earth freezes

people hate and kill
liars abound
evil seems to flourish
and fear grows

and yet if we open our eyes to
the world around us
to the signs of beauty which abound
to fresh fallen snow
and baby’s smile
the laughter of children
and the glances of lovers

and open our selves to the beauty within
to the presence of the sacred with calms
and soothes
and reminds us that we are loved
and with all others participate in infinite good (if we would only see)

then the world becomes
everything that is “yes”
