A reflection from Algonquin

Jim Goudie, participant on the contemplative canoe trip, shares the poetry and pictures below:

Drawing from the well of Christ
Contemplatively
Actively

--------------------------------------------

Walking in solitude

together
seeing ourselves and God
reflected

in the waters

in friendship

in words

in silence

in song and laughter and tears

in provision
in breeze and rain and fire
in loon, otter, eagle and gull
tree, mist, rock, stars and sun.
Gracious space!
loving touch!
filled with challenges
invitations to become.
Oh! the One who created
and is creating
us in this place.

-------------------------------------------

 

 

...and ye shall find

period

though some times
the fog persists
especially in some places
leaving us to persist

in hope

seeking

--------------------------------------
