As the water of the day flows,
Let us protect and care for one another in this community

Out of town
Time to head to the beach. I leave in the morning for a trip to Hawaii. It is work ... but work in a warm place. That is particularly nice knowing that there is a winter advisory posted .... with the anticipation that there will be about 12" of snow the next 24 hours!
If you don't hear from me for a while ...
Aloha!
Molokai, HI

Its Not Personal
Corbett's Glen 1/09
Its not personal ...
its not about you ...
its not about me ...
it just is ...
Sometimes we need to just let it flow ...
we just need to let it be ...
Let it go
Let it flow
What do you need to let go of?

Together
Woven together as family. birth family
extended family
One family of God throughout the world.
And families come together
to care
to serve
to love
and to pray
Let us work for peace
in our family
to forgive
and to do justice
On this Sabbath day
reach out,
tighten loosened weaving
so together we may live fully

Details
Its in the details
In the rush of life there can be a tendency to overlook the details. We build structures, lay foundations, and provide supports, and then jump to the next project. But when we can slow down and pay attention to the details we can move from ordinary to extraordinary.
My grandfather was a furniture builder. He would say that it was as important to put a beautiful knob on a drawer to enhance the piece. He likened it to a woman wearing a beautiful piece of jewelry ... that they complemented and brought out the beauty of one another.
So as we move forward today, slow down, attend to the detail.
Finishing and moving onto the next project is not the goal.
Attend to the detail
The words spoken.
The feelings not named.
Attend to the detail
The food you taste
The flavors which enhance.
Attend to the detail.
The light bouncing off the snow
The patterns of water frozen in the pond.
Attend to the detail.
The quiet of the scene.
The lapping of the wing.
Attend to the detail.
The softness of the quilt.
The individual stitches of the thread.
As you build the foundation
Pay attention to the detail.
Take time to add the jewelry.
Move from ordinary to extraordinary

Left Behind
Left behind
Empty and hollow
Once full of life
full of color
a place made of dreams
Whatever happened
to what I left behind
I had such dreams
Such hopes
Such plans
Even in the forward movement
Living the dreams
Living with hope
Loving with love
There is something I left behind
empty
hollow
quiet
alone
What have you left behind?
