steal away
December 25, 2008
this holiday season called me to a small village in france. an ecumenical community. the days simple, quiet; meditative, and numbingly beautiful. i have met people of all nations, have crossed languge barriers and celebrated simply, genuinely the birth of Christ Jesus. i am reminded of how good it is to be in community. to be in prayer, silence and song. to feast on the words of the lord, the promises of our maker.
during this season and all seasons; may you hold dear to loved ones and may you rejoice! for He is good.
this song (below) was sung over me as a babe. it is one that has carried me through all times and all seasons. i feel compelled in this season to share. where there is birth there is death there is life.
we aint got long to stay here.
ps- the white dudes pete seeger.
JOYEUX NOEL!
Merry Christmas Ms. Sumner!
Hey Rachel,

I enjoyed very much celebrating christmas with you!
Have a nice trip in marocco and take care!
AND don´t let yourself get irritated through me saying that I just once kept contact to people I got to know in Taize!! ( I hope that you understand what I want to express?!?)
