from Gary Garrett:
Pencil-thin sunlight, tiny beams of intense light, bursting with energy
and hope, spilling in and flowing in the cracks between tree limbs and
barn doors and drives through the country-side. Light bursting through,
unexpectedly- intense and important and renewing- reminds me of the
Wednesday morning conversation surrounding the Lenten writings of Henri
Nouwen – how we are able to break into the complexities and the
‘messiness’ of the relationships and situations and everyday life we
live with a word of encouragement, a word of hope, an understanding and
empathy for the other person in this moment by moment saga we call Life.
God, in turn, likewise breaks into those cracks in our day to day
experience to enlighten us.
We breathe; our hearts beat; we live, in the minutia, in the presence
and the light of God. Let it be for us this day.
Thank you my brother Gary! Love you. S
