Maya Angelou & Our Stories

There is no greater sorrow 
than failing to tell the story within you.
Maya Angelou




This blog is all about telling your story.  Look into the world. Ponder the mystery of how you are at once a part of the world and yet also a part of it.  It reflects the story of creation in your life, in your soul and the passion of your spirit.  The natural order is God’s created order, and since Christians believe that they are made in God’s image—well then, look into the world and see how it reflects your life back to you.  So I celebrate the joy of sensing and track the world through my dog, the fawn that cannot run far without stopping to see who I am, the ice enclosed, snow bound stillness of a world speaks in the silence of its beauty, the ocean’s movement like the waters we all came from in the womb---all of it—telling our story, for we are a part of all we see, and yet lifted out by the love of a God who gives us the rich privilege and pleasure to behold it.
