I am mindful that there are special souls

that forever touch our lives

and how important it is

to daily thank the God Lord

for those dear and special souls

"We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can fly only by embracing each other."-lucian de crescenzo

Blessings to each of you

Summer Touch..

Summer touch

beneath my wings

take flight in depth

let spirit sing

the dance of life

permeate

the smiles the tears

love create

run wild through the sands

of life's journey

fly angels on wings

across the sea

will vast never cease

to bring end to the flight

let hearts sing now

in pure delight...

Are there days...

Are there days you touch the tender reality, beauty and questions of humanity? ...

Are there days you ponder life's gentle course in gratitude and tears?

Are there days you feel so happy you could dance upon the mountain tops..

yet so tender that tears could flow to the river?

Are there days?....

Today this quote touches me in ways that perhaps transcend words...

So I share the words that move me:

"Love is not love until love's vulnerable."

(Theodore Roethke)

Are there days you touch the vulnerability of Love for others

amidst the grandest of loves of our dear Lord?

Are there days?

Thoughts for the Day... on "Wholeness"

I have been reading an interesting book titled Seeking Peace by Johann Christoph Arnold. Within the book he shares a wonderful quote from Henri Nouwen...

As Nouwen talks of the complexity of life and multiple roles, activities, values, beliefs, etc. he writes

How can we "keep in together" when we are constantly being torn apart? Jesus says, "Not a hair of your head will be lost. Your perseverence will win you your lives (Luke 21:18019). We can only survive our world when we trust that God knows us more intimately than we know ourselves. We can only keep it together when we believe that God holds us together. We... win our lives when we remain faithful to the truth that every little part of us, yes every hair, is completely safe in the divine embrace of our Lord. "

Do you ever have those tender areas of your life that you care so much about yet they too seed such vulnerability when gentle concerns or questions seep in to the thoughts and feelings? No matter how much faith, hope and love we live life with, we are all so deeply human. ...

Sometimes it is so incredibly difficult, yet so uniquely important,

to "Let go and Let God."....
