February 4th, 2008 An excerpt from Peace is Every Step by Thich Nhat Hanh. Look Into Your Hand I have a friend who is an artist. Before he left Vietnam forty years ago, his mother held his hand and told him, “Whenever you miss me, look into your hand, and you will see me immediately.” How penetrating these simple, sincere words! Over the years my friend looked into his hand many times. The presence of his mother is not just genetic. Her spirit, her hopes, and her life are also in him. When he looks into his hand, he can see thousands of generations before him and thousands of generations after him. He can see that he exists not only in the evolutionary tree branching along the axis of time, but also in the network of interdependent relations. He told me that he never feels lonely. - page 69 - --------------------
Dear Friends, Take time with this reflection as you think of your loved ones. —tink

February 4th, 2008 An excerpt from Little Pieces of Light…Darkness and Personal Growth by Joyce Rupp O.S.M.( Order of Servants of Mary) …When we enter the spiritual night, we can feel alone, encompassed by a fearful darkness, What we need to remember is that we’re carried in God’s womb, in God’s divine heart, even when we don’t know it, even when God seems far away.—page 48— -------------------- Dear Friends, Look into your hand and see God holding you. —tink--
