“We don’t have to go far to find the treasure we are seeking. There is beauty and goodness right were we are. And only when we can see the beauty and goodness that are close by can we recognize beauty and goodness on our travels far and wide…“ -Henri J.M. Nouwen
“Thank you Lord for the color green / That grafts me into the things that grow / and remind us of all that’s good in your creation.”
“For the leaving of birds in formations to the south / And the expectation of new things to come…”
Holy Spirit, enfold me into yourself
“For wisps of clouds converging on the noon horizon, where heaven touches earth / And the savage storms that jar the night, but leave us with morning dew…”
For the fragrance of desert rain, / For children splashing in laughter, and for the locked glance of mystery shared between two lovers– / We thank you, Lord of all life, for the promises you have hidden in the heart of all creation…”
“The one desire of God is to be held: held deep in the center of all being beneath all motives where understandings are drown out by the gurgles of an infantile creation, fully rested in its baby-ness.”
