SLOW

Hi There!

So, there's slow food, slow dancing, slow sex.

Slow savors.

Slow senses.

Slow "souls."

Slow gentles to wonder.

Sure did last night.

I had just finished a funeral service. It was tough and I was tired.

All I wanted to do was get out of my vestments and get home.

Moving through the foyer of the funeral home, though, I simply had to slow down and stop.

There was this young girl taking care of a frisky little boy.

She was about seven, he clearly two!

I sat down on the couch across from her.

We smiled and talked a bit.

It was simply sublime.

She was beautiful of body and spirit - pure, calm, deep, oh so deep and serenely so.

Age, words, location didn't get on the way. It was soul to soul.

So glad I slowed down to open up to God simply seven years old.

Yes, slow sanctifies.



Here's to a slow, soulful summer for us all.

Thanks for your good company.

Looking forward to seeing you next week.



In God's Dear Love,
