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.

It only takes a second

Again

The work starts

As soon as you open your eyes in the

Morning

 

Hopefully you got

Some good rest last night

 

Why go into the city or the fields

Without first kissing

The Friend

 

Who always stands at your door?

It only takes a second.

                     Hafiz (The Subject Tonight is Love  trans. Ladinsky

 

The works starts

As soon as we open our eyes

The work of love

 

The work of healing

Hoping

Listening

Caring

Giving

 

It is hard work!

 

The new is grim

Our situations are difficult

It feels as if the world is out of control

And there is little we can do

 

About the abuse of power

Greed

Guns

Racism

All

 

But it is our work

To create reconciliation

Healing

Wholeness

 

It is our work to help drag the Kingdom of Love

Kicking and screaming into reality

 

So it seems

We had better start our day right!

 

With a kiss!

With an intimate moment

with Sacred

 

With Love

With that power that created the mountains and valley

The streams and lakes

The animals in all their beauty

The sun, and moon, and all stars

 

We had better start our day there

Before we face those power

That deny love and live

 

Where we start matters

What we feast on, in those first moments of the day

Matters

 

O taste and see that the Lord is good;

happy are those who take refuge in them (Psalm 34.8)

 

Love is waiting

Ready to embrace and empower

Love is waiting

For you to open the door

And greet it with a kiss

 

It only takes a second
