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.

The Catching Force
Let us preach you without preaching, not by words
But by our example, by the catching force,
the sympathetic influence of what we do,
The evident fullness of the love
Our hearts bear to you
Cardinal
Newman

Practicing the presence of the Sacred
Has little to do with knowledge
And rules
Little to do with doctrines
Or even sacred texts (which become yet another god)
Being spiritual has everything to do with an open
And willing heart
With the experience of divine presence
It is about knowing the Sacred
Not knowing about “Sacred Things’
and Sacred Truth is shared
not with words
not by ideological blindness
that blinds us to others
and leads to rigid adherence
but by full hearts
which spill forth love
compassion
kindness
generosity
evidence
which demands
a verdict
