Throw your dreams into
space like a kite and
you do not know
what it will bring
back,
a new life, a new friend, a
new love, a new country.
~
Anaïs Nin
If what I say resonates with you,
it's because we
are both branches on the same tree.
~ W.B. Yeats
As we become purer channels for God's light,
we develop an appetite for the sweetness
that is possible in this world.
A miracle worker is not geared toward
fighting the world that is,
but toward creating the world that could be.
~Marianne
Williamson

*Philip was prompted
to go on the road to Gaza and it was in this unlikely place that he was led by
the spirit to approach the Ethiopian’s carriage. Do we pay attention to the times when we
are led down unusual roads and are we open to the spirit’s prompting to draw
alongside folk? Often it is as we draw alongside people we find them seeking and
asking questions as the Ethiopian did. The encounter led to commitment on the
part of the Ethiopian and both went on their separate ways. How much opportunity do we make of the
brief encounters along the way as we reach out to people on the
margins, in industry or the shopping mall, amongst Asylum seekers, or those we
encounter in our daily lives? (Reflections of the
Spirit)

my Father is the vinegrower. 2He removes every branch in
me that bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear
more fruit.
