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.

Everything Yet Can Happen

I’m living just as the century ends.   A great leaf, that God and you and I have covered with writing turns now, overhead, in strange hands. We feel the sweep of it like a wind.   We see the brightness of a new page where everything yet can happen
                                                                        Rainer Maria Rilke (Book of Hours)
_____________________________________________________________________

we have made the past
what it is

our beliefs
our words
our choices

our passions

our actions

for better or worse
we have written on the pages of our lives
in what seems like indelible ink

and yet each century
each decade, year
each day

it is no exaggeration to say
each moment

we are given
a new page
swept clean by time and grace
on which to write our story

all we have to do
is be driven by the wild wind of Sacred Presence

and make
the next right choice
knowing that everything yet can happen
