A Hidden Wholeness

 

                                       That which is barely seen, or faintly visible is nonetheless real.

                                                     There is a hidden wholeness to everything.

                                                      It is in the waiting that it all will be revealed.

Out the Back Window

The Colors of Christmas

                           Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places.

The Beauty of Being Blessed

We are, each of us, here, says Jonathan Sacks 

in his extraordinary book, The Dignity of Difference, 
"because someone -- some force at the heart of being -- 
called us into existence and summoned us to be a blessing."  
                    How will you bless the world today?

Letting Go

Richard Rohr tells us

"All great spirituality is about letting go."

So -- what is it that you need to cast off today?

 

Ivy on the Wall

The verdant ivy clings around
Yon moss be-mantled wall,
As if it sought to hide the stones,
That crumbling soon must fall:
That relic of a bygone age
Now tottering to decay,
Has but one friend--the ivy--left.
The rest have passed away.

The fairy flowers that once did bloom
And smile beneath its shade;
They lingered till the autumn came,
And autumn saw them fade:
The emerald leaves that blushed between--
The winds away have blown;
But yet to cheer the mournful scene,
The ivy liveth on.
~Henry Wendell~
