A Mother's Day Prayer for you


~Photo by Alicia Bock


May We Celebrate What Unites Us


May we believe in, respect and promote the dignity, the worth and even the sacredness of every human person, including of course our own persons.

May we in all honesty search our minds and hearts to discover, to acknowledge and to free ourselves from biases, discrimination, oppressions, violence, and unenlightened and unanalyzed opinions and judgments.

May we admit in true humility that our strong assurances and convictions have their limitations. We are ever in search of the fullness of truth, the truth that is beyond simplistic answers to complicated issues.

May we not restrict ourselves to the limited and isolated visions of our own circles, especially the enclosed views of our religious organizations and ethnic and cultural affiliations.

May we welcome dialogue among ourselves in which we listen sincerely and speak honestly in an atmosphere of genuine freedom.

~ Father Virgil Cordano, O.F.M

That is beautiful! And so are your photos. I haven't had a chance to visit for a little bit. Isn't it great, that day the hummingbirds return & the feeders go up--even though they are missing parts. I also am pushing in the garden before the heat comes...once the heat arrives, I evaporate.

ME TOO! The last few days have been great to be out in the garden. I am in the process of potting up plants to sell this year. It took several years to get to this point and this year is the year!!! pictures soon!
