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.

We need a new God
“I need a God who is bigger and more nimble and mysterious
than what I could understand and contrive. Otherwise it can feel like I am worshiping nothing more than my own ability to understand the divine.”
― Nadia Bolz-Weber, Pastrix: The Cranky, Beautiful Faith of
a Sinner & Saint

The immensity of the Sacred is seen
Each day
Not in the beauty of the world
Not in the might of nations
Not in the lofty rhetoric of preachers
Not in the success of the powerful
But in the love of a mother
The laughter of a child
In the joy that come amidst tears
And the generosity of the poor
