We are leaves of one branch,
the drops of one sea,
the flowers of one garden.

Let the beauty we love be what we do.
There are hundreds of ways
to kneel and kiss the ground.

At
the very last minute, I decided to take a Saturday workshop with

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Jesus said to his disciples, "I am the
true vine, and my Father is the vinegrower. He removes every branch in me that
bears no fruit. Every branch that bears fruit he prunes to make it bear more
fruit. You have already been cleansed by the word that I have spoken to you.
Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself
unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the
vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much
fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. Whoever does not abide in me
is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown
into the fire, and burned. If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask
for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by
this, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples."
