Solitude
 "He leadeth me beside still waters…" 
 
 
2His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" 3Jesus answered, "Neither this man nor his parents sinned; he was born blind so that God’s works might be revealed in him. 4We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming when no one can work. 5As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world."

An embrace of silence and solitude
allows us to touch the fullness of possibility,
awakening to the cause and effect of our lives.

The soul should always stand ajar,
ready to welcome the ecstatic
experience.
                            ~ Emily Dickinson

I have learned
To spell hors d'oeuvres,
Which still grates on
Some people's n'oeuvres.

39Jesus said, "I came into this world for judgment so that those who do not see may see, and those who do see may become blind." 40Some of the Pharisees near him heard this and said to him, "Surely we are not blind, are we?" 41Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would not have sin. But now that you say, 'We see,' your sin remains."

1 The LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you grieve over Saul? ... And the LORD said, "Take a heifer with you, and say, 'I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.' 3Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; and you shall anoint for me the one whom I name to you."
