trickle

a calming presence was needed
the weight of a hand on a shoulder
an ear to listen to
a hand to hold

marbled chocolate


i love this time of year.
as i ran across the parking lot, a gust of wind carried leaves in its gentle movement.
i heard the chattering of the leaves.
then i heard the rain on my window as i sat at my dining room table.

the side of it read,
"medicated and motivated"

grown in family.
grown in love.

it feels like home to me
it feels like i'm all the way back where i belong

good friend and a glass of wine

in His time
not mine
there is perfection

celebrate

my beautiful nieces...

one cannot collect all the beautiful shells on the beach.
one can collect only a few,
and they are more beautiful if they are few.

envison

there are times when you want to capture an image or a moment just so you can look back.
what happens if you can't capture it?
will it remain?
will the beauty of it last?

i do know that each moment or image is beautiful in it's own way.
although you missed one sunset, there is another one tomorrow that will be just as spectacular
... in it's own way.

i am looking forward to seeing beauty in the next moment.

brother tom

Without roots we can neither discover where we belong, nor can we grow.
Without stability we cannot confront the basic questions of life.
Without stability we cannot know our true selves.
It is only as we put down roots into the earth that we begin to see the fruits.
To be earthed is to come alive in a new sense of mission.
A new capacity to give life is born, not by myself but in the body of community.

deeper

One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

I've learned that people will forget what you said,
people will forget what you did,
but people will never forget how you made them feel.

can you see?

For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then we will see face to face.
Now I know only in part; then I will know fully,
even as I have been fully known.
