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.

life can be deadly

“I once listened to an Indian on television say that God was in the wind and the water, and I wondered at how beautiful that was because it meant you could swim in Him or have Him brush your face in a breeze.”
         Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality

life can be deadly
day in and day out
life dictated by a scheduler

encounters in which nothing
(or little) happens
A mind disengaged
A heart disengaged

Putting in time
Finger on the time clock
In
Finger on the time clock
Out

and yet there is the mountain
fresh with snow
and the wind
scented through the firs
and the sunset
Sacred grandeur

Ah!
For those moments which God
Caresses our eyes, our nose
Our face
Our heart

Life
Restored
