postcards from paradise welcoming the light

throw open all the doors, 

 call out glory

 

 turn away from darkness, 

simply face the light

 

set out a room full of welcoming chairs,

 be the house of belonging

 

bevel off the edges of everything known,

 look deeply with clarity of heart

believe each bright promise,

 in a thousand unfurling blossoms

 
 discover imperfect moments,

crammed with extraordinary.

 

lift the common veil of humanity,

speak peace in every language

  allow the darkness of the past to 

 bleed freely into holy light.

 

 

 dear friends....

dizzy with the song of Spring, 

holding each of you in the light of love.

 

postcards from paradise

honored each sunday to be

gathering your snippets of sacred ordinary.

I'm ready to welcome spring, but alas, we are overcast with rain coming in tomorrow. I love your words and all the variations on light. The Wayfarers Chapel I post about today is also about light. Although the day was overcast, still the beautiful misty light penetrated.

I just came in from the warm and bright of the morning to your perfect words.

I sat out in the sun eating my cereal first time this year, it feels wonderful, and guess what? There were three Mallard ducks on our new ponds this morning!

rebecca,
Your message is one that should ring out in a clarion call throughout the world today. It is a call for light, acceptance, love, compassion and equality for all -- a sense of true belonging. "to lift the common veil of humanity and speak peace in every language" is a prayer that will remain in my heart. to "allow the darkness of the past to bleed freely into holy light" is an image powerful enough to shatter stone. Your words are jewels rebecca. Thank you for them and for the freedom you offer everyone in speaking them.
Much Love,
Noelle

whatever is that blooming
tree that holds
your heart?
my heart?

the heart of the world?

what is it
cherry?

look like my red-bud tree
one
bit
