A tiny dot of blue

A tiny dot of blue in the grey and cloudy sky. An opening. A promise.

“In our anxiety to limit ourselves to that which we can comprehend definitely, we are losing all that is above, beyond, below, through, past, over that small area encompassed by our conscious mind” Madeleine L’Engle

How do you limit yourself? How does God break through?

Moonlight

May the blessing of sleep bring refreshment and release

And the Angel of the moon call the rivers of dream

To soften the hardened earth of the outside life,

Disentangle from the trapped nets the hurts and sorrow,

And awaken the young soul for the new tomorrow.~ John O’Donohue ~

Making ready

“Dear Lord, I have swept and I have washed but
still nothing is as shining as it should be
for you. Under the sink, for example, is an
uproar of mice it is the season of their
many children. What shall I do? And under the eaves…” — Mary Oliver

How do you make ready for God?
