Sometimes grandeur is great -
mountains and sunsets and oceans and such... But sometimes all I need is simplicity - a wildflower, a birdsong, a bit of blue sky, my feet connected to the good earth, the colour green, not much to do, someone to sit with, a cup of coffee, a prayer on the breeze - simple sabbath gifts to fill my soul and remind me that ordinary, everyday moments are holy too. - Wendy Janzen

Sinking...
I dive beneath dark water, immersed and held briefly in another world. Surfacing, I breathe deeply. Floating face to the sky, with each exhale I sink slightly. I align my body to the sinking sun in the hazy sky; a brilliant orange path glistens across the water, reflects fires burning in the northwest, points right to my feet. My heart sinks with the knowledge we are all sinking, burning, melting choking. God, save us from ourselves. Have mercy on us. Have mercy on the Earth, on the trees, sky, glaciers, communities, and creatures… Save us from this path of self destruction. Save us from sinking into oblivion. You are our bright light, fresh air, quenching rain, enduring solace, solid ground, our hope beyond hope. - Wendy Janzen |
