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.

Wait and Hope
"Live, then, and be happy, beloved children of
my heart, and never forget, that until the day God will deign to reveal the
future to man, all human wisdom is contained in these two words, 'Wait and
Hope.”
Alexandre Dumas

O beloved children of my heart
there is so much more
so much
that is possible
so much that is promised
by no one less than the Sacred One
so much
lurking on the edges of
what we know as reality
that we do not fully know or understand
fleeting glimpses come
a touch of compassion here
a selfless act there
people revealing, if only for an instant
Sacred Presence
Love
There are transient moments
when the fullness of eternity
stirs in “the clay of our hearts”1
and the Sacred promise awakens
and in the midst of our longing
we find a place to stand
and wait
in
hope
