Footprints in the Windsm # 1331
“Holy, holy, holy” is
“Other, other, other,”

Holy are you
Intimate are you
Sacred are you
Please pass it on.

The end of life conversation is about justice–
The end of life conversation is about justice—giving each one what he or she wants—about love—caring for each other—about wholeness—allowing and helping one another have the wholeness we choose.

Have compassion for:
Have compassion for
This room which cannot breath
—for it has no windows
This city which has lost its heart
—For it guns down its young aborning
Have compassion in daily ways
—Witness
—Name
—Lay a flower

Choosing the next place: I mourn the closing off of my discovering if we really want us to go to this place. No, it is not a choosing who can invite or choosing one inviter over another but which invitation among many to accept. Anxiety over time—of all things!— opened to explore our hearts should not keep us from our best examination not of the invitation but of our heart and purpose and love.

When settling in to tell a story to children, ask them to give you a locale, or a symbol: circle, river, hole, woods, cave, hut, maze, spiral, village, web.
