Bidgoodbyeto winter,new life beckons. The trees are dancing,flowering limbs reachingtoward the warmth of the sun. Light lingering past suppertimecalling us outside to see day’s end. Transitions of spring, a time for rebirth.

Timehappensright beforemy eyes withoutas much as a nodor a tip of its hatbefore rushing out the doorinto tomorrow and what’s next.It is a fact. Time waits for no one.I live the day, for it is all I have.

Weare dustand to dustwe shall return.This is common ground,a universal truthwithout color, creed or tribe.Death is the thread that binds us all.Yet how we live in this world matters.Every heart is capable of goodness.

Thepromiseof morning.Each new day isa linear glimpseinto God’s holy time.Feeling earth beneath my feet,I ground myself to the Spiritbefore putting shoes on for God’s work.Tomorrow the promise will start anew.

Thelayersof skin areworn away bytime, grief, and regret. Yet those gray hairs beliethe strength of grace, endurance,and compassion that restores us. We do not become old, we grow old.Pray for the wisdom of years and live it.

Wherethe veilis thin, thatwhich is betweenbody and spirit,love is fierce, transcendingmere physical attraction.Its fluid movement inherentin what is done and what is undone.Love has the power to change everything.

Totrulyembrace andlive into anintrinsic beliefrequires an opennessto listening, acceptance,softening of hard edges andwillingness to see in a new light.To believe one must suspend disbelief.

Lifeis apilgrimage,a sojourn inmiles, minutes or wordsto find or lose something.The journey is the reward.Drop a pin and connect the dotsto arrive where your head and your heartcan talk to one another and find peace.

Lookforwardnot behindfor hope is foundin what is to be.We learn from past mistakesand live into them in faith.Hope is the energy of change.Trust even in the midst of chaos,goodness and mercy will surely follow.

Thefount ofcreation.The breathing heartof earth, cloud, and sea.Currents pulse within us.Scarcity or abundance,a double-edged sword, ebbs and flows.In baptism, the holy sacrament,water seals us as Christ’s own forever.
