A saint’s cell and solitude and silence

Another lovely day, God! Thank YOU! This morning we went back in time – back to the 600s in Glendalough. St. Kevin had gone off to be holy and ended up founding a monastery back in the 600s. I felt

Famine Ships and Doing More

Good Gracious, God! How hard it is to “hear” the story of the Irish Famine from a real live human being! We are not designed to do numbers.  One million dead — or was it two million dead — they

Waking up in the Web of Life

Happy Valentine’s Day

So good, God, all this focus on love . . . hearts and flowers — especially red flowers and, of course  chocolate. Yesterday the Farmers’ market was filled with red flowers — great armfuls coming in and going out. It

Swans and Puppies

Good Morning, God.  You know, when I look at this swan I think of Apple.  Both seem to embody great design!  And there is something very attractive — appealing — in good design. For one thing, it is sleek and

Let all of us – as trees – clap our hands and sing

Good Morning God,  It’s the intertwining branches that I love in this photo.  They make me think of all the people in our lives – family and friends — and how we intertwine. I love trees.  In California I loved
