Pantry on the Patio

Not just in James Bay with our Pantry on the Patio, but in Naples, Italy, people have been leaving “solidarity baskets” for those who are struggling. The note reads "Put in, if you can. Take out, if you can't."  In fact, all across the planet, citizens are helping out their neighbours, from buying groceries to cooking meals for those in need. How beautiful is that?

My Amen

My Amen

      

Beloved,
you are the gravity that holds me.
         May your desire keep me.
                  I rest in you.

You are the sun rising in me.
         Your light awaken me.
                  I open myself to you.

You are the dawn that greets me.
         Draw me into this day.
                  I wait for you.

You are the sky in my lungs.
         Your breadth open me.
                  I breathe deeply of you.

You are the river of my veins.
         Your love flow in me.
                  I surrender to you.

You are the sea of my birthing
and my welcoming grave.
         In your blessing I belong.
                  I am at peace in you.

Beloved, you are life itself,
and the very Being of what is.
         My life is gratitude and wonder.
                  My living is my Amen.
