Dear All of Us,
I feel like a little kid
who just got home
from a school trip
to the museum.
Excited, you want
to share all the
"This's and That's"
of the trip's goodness.
Some telling
THIS'S and THAT's
about our spiritual journey
have come my way lately
and I am excited
to send them your way.
Also, I've added in a few
from my personal
Journey Journal
on the chance
they might be helpful.
Slowly over
the next whiles
let's
Pray Pause
with them
one at a time
listening for what
The Spirit
might say as we
journey our way to
Real
WE WONDER
What does
The Spirit
speak to soul
about
self
society
sacred creation
divine intimacy
as we
Pray Ponder
over
THIS'S and THAT'S

The world is too dangerous
for anything but truth
and too small
for anything but love.
William Sloan Coffin
You only know
as much
as you do.
Francis of Assisi
There is no such thing
as outside.
All is endlessly One.
No mud, no lotus.
Thich Nhat Hanh
Love fills in a lot of
life's potholes.
Hell is the truth seen too late.
William Sloan Coffin
When the people lack
a sense of awe,
there will be trouble
in the empire.
Lao Tzu
Why did Jesus die?
To love death to life
for us.
The best criticism of the bad
is the practice of better.
Richard Rohr
As the years open out
we need less
to make room for
ALL
Every day is a journey,
and the journey itself
is home.
Matsuo Basko
Raising children:
long days,
short years.
Author unknown,
The truth of it
well known.
Long on love.
Experience is not
what happens to you.
It is what you do with
what happens to you.
Aldous Huxley
Death
Moving to a new state,
a new state of being.
Can be stressful.
But,
Ah!!!!!!!
"Tat Taum Asi"
means
"You are That"
- be it flower,
river, concert,
enemy, lover -
everything and
all that is -
Ultimate Reality
in
all and every
particular
of it.
Hinduism
The earth is pregnant
with God.
Angela of Foligno
If you were on trial
for being a Christian,
would there be
enough evidence
to find you guilty?
James Turro
Apache Blessing
May the sun
bring you
new energy by day,
may the moon
softly restore you
by night,
may the rain
wash away
your worries,
may the breeze
blow new strength
into your being,
may you walk gently
through the world
and know the beauty
all the days of your life.
God is love.
1 John 4:8

Hope these
This"s and That's
open to Godness.
