Inner light

Our Inner Light is the goodness, the well being of humankind. It shines brightest when we welcome it, fastening it to our consciousness moment by moment. The Inner Light prevails. Let us recognize it, embrace it, hold it dear. It shines in one and all.

Joyfully

Humbly
I can say
I’m not free
Of worry
Of regret
Of pain

But…

Joyfully
I can say
I am free
To praise
To hope
To love

--By Ron Cooper

A sacred space

Every place
A sacred space
To welcome hearts
And gentle souls

Every place
A sacred space
To seek and find
Our lofty goals

A
Sacred
Space

Oops, forgot someone!

“A lot of people love you, Greta,” I announced to my toddler granddaughter one sunny day at the park a few years back. Then I started counting. Before long, what with parents, grandparents, other relatives and teachers, I had reached the grand sum of 38!

I felt a little smug.

But throughout it all, Greta was pensive. Finally, she looked at me earnestly and said: “You forgot God.”

Make that 39!
