You’ve been given stewardship of a congregation of atoms. Use them wisely.

omen from the other night: three raccoons skittering single-file out of the road; blaze of headlights. lightning flares between the mountain and the lake.

[wandering the wild @grovehaven]

today’s omen: the mountains are gone. half moon, orange, swallowed in dusky blue. goose-flock floating silent through the haze

[Mason Mennenga @masonmennenga]

your understanding of the gospel will be completely different if you think the kingdom of god is a place we escape to after death rather than a way of living that god is bringing to earth now

[wandering the wild @grovehaven]

what if we were all microbes in the gut or blood vessels of God, and then God experienced our prayers as sensations—like hunger and weariness and yearning

I want to worship all the gods,
always remembering
that every pebble is an altar.

[wandering the wild @grovehaven]

You’re here. You are (house and) home. You’re part of it. And you belong.

there’s so much universe to fall in love with. you could be enamored forever, with anything and anyone and everything

[The Sefirot Games @TheSefirotGame]

Thou know’st ’tis common.
All that lives must die,
Passing through nature to eternity.

Jesus is a 30 year old black man

riding the subway

hungry, thirsty,

fed up.

and the player was the universe. and the player was love.

[wandering the wild @grovehaven]

I miss certainty. I miss trusting that there would be closure and satisfactory, if eventual, answers to it all.

[wandering the wild @grovehaven]

I thought it would all be fair, all be made right.

I still hope for that.

but I don’t *know* it anymore.

[The Broken Book @BrokenBookPod]

I love religious plurality, not just because it is tolerant, but because I think God might be metaphysically plural. . . and that's fascinating and awesome.

[minecraft end poem bot @endpoembot]

we are the universe.

[minecraft end poem bot @endpoembot]

and sometimes the player believed the universe had spoken to it through the light that fell from the crisp night sky of winter, where a fleck of light in the corner of the player's eye might be a star a million times as massive as the sun

[The Celtic Christian Tradition @Beth_M_Boyle]

We ought not to understand God and the creatures as two things distinct from one another, but as one and the same. For both the creature, by subsisting, is in God; and God, by manifesting Himself in a marvellous and ineffable manner, creates Himself in creatures.-John the Scot
