as the willingness
to let the deepest longing of my soul grow larger
than any fear that might arise.

Keeping a place for music

Wild sings the bird of the heart
in the forests of our lives.

Little moments of wonder in a day
Even brief, five minute, encounters – if we have eyes to see – can contain a lifetime, and make a day special
Unexpected wonders happen,
not on schedule, or when you expect or want them to happen,
but if you keep hanging around, they do happen.
Wendell Berry
Sunday Quote: Acceptance: this is how it is
The earth always accepts what the sky throws down.

Monday morning encouragement: Keep going….trust
We come here to search…
to go on searching through silence and meditation,
to get in touch with our inner life.
Christ always said,
Do not worry,
give yourself.

The gift of life
A reminder to see each day as a gift to be celebrated:
God has given us the gift of life
It is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living fully
(Dieu nous a donné le vivre; c’est à nous de nous donner le bien vivre)
