Stiches of embrideryIn these tumultuous times it helps to remember that Love finds a way.

“We stand, clothed in grace, and showered with blessing. At times we see the flecks of light; at other times we see only the shadows of the silhouette. But always, both in our knowing and in our unknowing, we are escorted into tomorrow by Love, who gives us everything we need.” ~Doris Klein CSA

"Love is what carries you, for it is always there, even in the dark, or most in the dark, but shining out at times like gold stitches in a piece of embroidery. " -Wendell Berry

May you find peace and respite today from the swirling chaos, cultivating  calm within, and as golden stitches linking one to another, we find renewed strength.

    Magnificent! How beautifully true, thank you Liz. We catch those glimpses in a myriad of ways if we pause long enough to be caught in the gaze of Love. Thank you Liz for brining Love to our world today.

    First, Liz, your Mandala is spectacular and such a superb portrayal of Berry’s poetic phrasing. Mainly, though, these quotes raise us all above the “swirling chaos.” Only there can we find that “calm within.”
