Many years ago an old priest invited Barbara Brown
Taylor to speak at his church. She asked
him what she should speak about, and he said simply “Come tells us what is
saving your life now”

what is saving my life?
what gets me up in the morning?
what drives me to walk 10,000 steps?
what motivates me to write this blog?
what prompts me to walk out the door and head to
work?
but mostly
what is saving my life?
why am I still here?
why has my soul not “left the building”
it is my experience
that Sacred is in all things
and all things participate in the Sacred
that God
is all in all
woven into the fabric of my being
woven into the fabric of the universe
God is in my mountain
In the trees
In the wind
In the sun on the snow
In my children and grandchildren
In all those I love
God is in those impacted by mental illness
and addiction
God is in the horrible traveler on the plane
Who almost (almost) makes me forget divine
presence
God is in Hilary, and Jeb, and Rubio, and Bernie
And yes, even in Donald
God is
in me
and that is what keeps me
alive
