How
did the rose
ever open its heart
and give to this world all of its beauty?
It felt the encouragement of light against its being,
otherwise we all remain too
frightened.

People must not only hear about the kingdom of God, but must see it in actual operation on a small scale perhaps and in imperfect form, but a real demonstration nevertheless.

Compassionate Winston-Salem Initiative
Winston-Salem friends - see the note below from a group of community members who are seeking to see compassion all around our city. I invite you to join me and others in taking part in this initiative! See the note below from Jerry McLeese from Interfaith Winston-Salem —
“In Winston-Salem, we see individual and corporate acts of compassion daily. It’s who we are. And, for the volunteers who comprise Interfaith Winston-Salem, it’s the brand – the identity – that we want everyone to associate with our city.
That’s why Interfaith Winston-Salem is mounting an effort to have Compassionate Action Network International declare us a City of Compassion. You can join the effort by signing the Charter for Compassion at http://charterforcompassion.org/ .
Send a note to us at jmcleese1@yahoo.com and we’ll add your name to people named below who subscribe to the Charter for Compassion.”

100 Trips to Take in Your Lifetime
I’ve done 4 of these… lots of traveling to be done! Humbled and thankful that I’ve been able to travel throughout my life!
- Got lost in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul
- Viewed sunset at Santorini, Greece
- Wandered Christmas Markets in Germany (no hot wine, though)
- Waded in the Dead Sea in Israel (didn’t get to float, though)

"Why wonder about the loaves and the fishes?
If you say the right words, the wine expands.
If you say them with love
and the felt ferocity of that love
and the felt necessity of that love,
the fish explode into many.
Imagine him, speaking,
and don’t worry about what is reality,
or what is plain, or what is mysterious.
If you were there, it was all those things.
If you can imagine it, it is all those things.
Eat, drink, be happy.
Accept the miracle.
Accept, too, each spoken word
spoken with love."
- “Logos” by Mary Oliver, in Why I Wake Early
