“So many want to be lifted by song and dancing, and this morning it is easy to understand. I write in the sound of chirping birds hidden in the almond trees, the almonds still green and thriving in the foliage.” WantWritingStillsSongEasySoundMorningTreeBirdGreenDancingAlmondsFoliage Book:Sacraments of Desire Source: Sacraments of Desire
“When death comes, we take off our clothes and gather everything we left behind: what is dark, broken, touched with shame. When Death demands we give an accounting, naked we present our lives in bundles. See how much these weigh, we tell him, refusing to deny what we have lived. Everything that is touched by light loves the light. We the stubborn-as-grass, we who reel at the taste of sap and want our spirits cleansed, will not betray the weeds, snake, or crippled mare. Never leave behind what the light shone on.” WantGivingLightSpiritLeftDarkBehindsOur LivesBrokenTasteQuietDemandClothesShameDenyNakedGrassTouchedWeedBetrayStubbornSnakesLeft BehindAccountingSapBundlesCrippledMares Book:Sacraments of Desire Source: Sacraments of Desire
