The Sound of Silence

by Rev. Raymond John Baughan

Skies are captured

in the lake

where fish dart

in the green of trees.

The heart holds

light and darkness

in its depths,

the dance

of life and death,

knowing the wind will blow.

✨

Edibles in our Garden

June 4, 2018Blogtwinkle

We have a lot of mint here in addition to rhubarb and chives…friends, if you would like some, please stop by and help yourself to the produce of our gardens.

While you are here, you could also take a walk through Manson Park and along the beautiful Sebasticook River.

If you would like accompaniment on your walk, or a guided meditation, please let me know in advance and we can schedule your time here. Otherwise, feel free to stop by spur-of-the-moment and whether we are here or not, friends are welcome. <3

A Time for Everything

May 21, 2018Blog, Twinkle's Musingstwinkle

With eternity in our hearts

everything is made beautiful in its time.

a time to heal;

a time to build;

a time to laugh;

a time to dance;

a time to gather;

a time to embrace;

a time to mend;

a time for peace;

a time to love.

Scattered stones need weep no more, for the seeds planted and watered with tears of mourning give way to the seasons of happiness and the heavens rejoice as it is time.

Inspired by Peter Gabriel’s “The Book of Love” and Ecclesiastes 3 (NIV) and this moment in Time.
