The Possibilities of Love

Each day I am alive on this planet I am awestruck by the possibilities gained from loving. A couple of weeks ago at my church 12 women were introduced as guests. These women reside in a facility for low risk incarcerated women. As their names were spoken; they became more than just a group of visiting women...They were named. They were gifts to our community. They were valued. This was one of those moments that I call sacramental; a conversion moment when I sensed the mystery of the Holy. A moment where I recalled Eckharts words; "Apprehend God in all things, for God is in all things. Every single creature is full of God and is a book about God. Every creature is a word of God's." Thomas Merton writes, "We discover our true selves in Love." Love never fails. It will always find a way to have its way." So, I encourage you to Love Love and Love some more......The possibilities are endless....... In Peace, Susan
