Sail Away Sweet Sister

This is all about God, prayer, community, music, art, poetry, theology, love and all sorts of things people run into on their life journey, especially when the second half of life is looming ahead. It is inspired by Fr Richard Rohr, by the Contemplative Outreach of Fr Thomas Keating, by C.G. Jung, by C.S. Lewis, Alan Watts, St Beuno's retreat house and all the communities I have a privilege to belong to. It is dedicated to and I hope will be used by my nearest and dearest, scattered all over the planet, and who are falling upwards with me.

Falling into Thy will

I said : to fight for the best, and to accept the worst. 
This is not quite adequate though, 
because in reality, there is no such thing as "best" and "worst" --  these are only opinions. 

There is only  "Thy will be done" - welcome, accepted, made mine. 
There is only what in French is so well called "épouser le mouvement" -- to espouse; to become one; to coincide. 

Falling upwards through the dense clouds, 
falling together, 

heart in heart, falling through 
the unknown skies above the unmapped lands, 

falling into Thy will.
