Good morning…
In the middle of the night, I pull out the “blob tree” tree that I crafted during our therapeutic community group at PAWkids this week. I know there is violence on the corner of a distant branch. I know there is loneliness and isolation and despair. But, feeling like the purple person on the perch, I also know the absolute joy of authentic community. As often as I can, I try to point the way to creative connection, to compassion and collaboration, for each one and for all.
My creation came to life after we read aloud the following story.
How might we open our eyes and hearts to witness each day the thin boundary between Earth and heaven, between God and us?
The secret is simple:
- Seek God’s face always.
- Fall in love with the life given.
- Keep falling in love with people, nature, food, new experiences, and music.
- Be magnanimous often. Altruistic and charitable. Considerate and forgiving. Generous and unselfish.
- Believe, really believe, that a corner of heaven can be pulled down on our watch.
The voice continued: “Take off your sandals and stand barefoot on the ground in My presence, for this ground is holy ground” (Act 7:33, VOICE).
