Transfiguration and Ash Wednesday


 
1Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves. 2And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white ...  5 ... suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice said, "This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!"

May your prayer of listening deepen enough
To hear in the distance the laughter of God.

The best way to be perceived as having character 
is to actually possess it.

They who dream by day are cognizant of many things which
escape those who dream only by night.

On a clear day
Rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are
 
On a clear day
How it will astound you
That the glow of your being
Outshines every star
 
You'll feel part of
Every mountain, sea and shore. 
You can hear from far and near
A world you've never, never heard before
 
And on a clear day
On that clear day
You can see forever, and ever, and ever, and ever more
