melting into the sun


I have seen God.

I have seen Walter's 84 year old hands rub sun-heated, soapy water over Samara's raisin skin, latched on to her bones.

I have seen the burning bush.

I have seen a blind man bathe his bed-ridden friend's armpits, breasts, ribs, legs, toes, and back with the dignity of a queen.

I have seen Jesus wash his disciples´ feet.

I have seen parched lips moistened by stubborn, tender hands.

I have seen Love.

Samara died yesterday. Her frail body let go.

There is a peace in death.

"For what is it to die
but to stand naked in the wind
and to melt into the sun?"
-Kahlil Gibran

May we look for the resurrection of the dead. Amen.

With you,
Luisely

  2. Eso es amor, me encantaria poder compartir contigo esta experincia tan hermosa que estas teniendo, has visto a los ojos de dios y el te ha respondido con las mas bellas experiencias pues no es en la riqueza donde se encuentra la verdadera felicidad sino en el brillo en los ojos de aquellos a quienes cambias su vida ensenandoles que dios si existe y tu mi querida amiga, con tu sonrisa y tu carino le estas ensenando a estas personas la palabra del senor.

    No es aquel que conoce el libro y lo resita quien ensena la obra, tu eres una verdadera profeta quien con tus actos nos demuestras a todos nosotros que dios existe y posee angeles hermosos para llevar su palabra.

  6. Binding today
    In remembrance of your appointed day and hour, today’s dawning rays began their anniversary dance to four and twenty years of grace. We now celebrate the beautiful fruit of that grace in mind and heart expressions that allow us to walk alongside you on your pilgrimage among the poor. May you find rest and strength in a moons ago memory in the spontaneous warmth in the silence of a parting prayer – for peace, protection, and the abundant rewards of binding oneself to God’s Will.
