Blueberries in Chardonnay
I am reading Learning to Fall: The Blessings of an Imperfect Life (2000) by Phillip Simmons dying from complications from ALS in 2002.
It is wonderful. Reading a chapter a day is a sacred experience with each chapter provocative and full of life and death, smiles and tears, hope and despair. In the chapter "choosing the world" he talks about building a relationship with God is not and "out there" experience but rather "being in relationship with a sacred reality 'right here'"
God is in the world, of the world, and is the world.
The good, the bad, the sweet, the sour.
He writes of berries and blueberries.
The sacredness of the world.
The sacredness of blueberries.
God is good.
Live with sacredness.
