a long walk through the woods and around a mountain top

our mountain

our little town is the two little steeples on the far left

this past Sunday's Gospel...the mountain top...The Transfiguration...

 

our back yard 

and the littlest of daisies which cover the grass...everywhere....

Teach us to be loving not only in great and exceptional moments
but above all in the ordinary events of daily life

the prayer from morning prayer Ash Wednesday, February 18

                             

loving . . . the . . . ordinary. . . flowers from yesterdays'  long . . . ordinary. . .walk 

through the woods and around a mountain top . . .

. . . exceptional moments . . .

  

  

O Lord my God, teach my heart this day...
where and how to see you
where and how to find you. 

You have made me and remade me
and you have bestowed on me all the good things I possess, 
and still I do not know you. 

I have not yet done that for which I was made. 

Teach me to seek you, 
for I cannot seek you unless you teach me, 
or find you unless you show yourself to me. 

Let me seek you in my desire, 
   let me desire you in my seeking. 

Let me find you by loving you,
   let me love you when I find you. Amen.

—St. Anselm

"May my love be Your love
Let me love like you"
