I HAD A LOVELY CONVERSATION with a visitor to our quiet, largely empty church this morning. It was a conversation that confirmed all that I believe to be true about our human need for "space" - religious space for some, but for most just plain space. "God, I'm glad you're OPEN, Father. I just needed some space." I've heard that sentence not once but thousands of times over the years.
And now you will understand why I find Simon so incredible - in his spirit, his heart and the love he has for faith.
Agreed, M, he’s a beautiful soul….
Absolutely, on all counts!
Yes, I understand. And, I think I will refer to his blog often over the next few weeks keeping in my heart his words filled with certainty, compassion and awareness because they now have touched my soul as well. Thanks for sharing Mimi.
thank your for introducing me to this blog -
It is my pleasure!
I also agree this was a wonderful post thanks for reblogging it…………
It is nice to see Simon sharing his wisdom more as his health improves. We are better for his compassion and gratitude.
I couldn’t agree more!
Thanks to your reblog I am now following Simon’s blog. I didn’t need to read more than this one post to know that I want Simon’s spirit, heart, and wisdom in my life. Thank you, dear Mimi.
