Wild Hopes

"Do you have any wild hopes,
or tame ones for that matter?

The possibility of acorns becoming towering oaks,
or caterpillars blossoming into butterflies.
or that dawn will chase away midnight fears?

"Wild hopes!

"That all humanity will learn the dance of joy,
and all humanity might taste the win of peace,
an that our loving God will become transparent through love.

"'Recast the earth, O Lord,
and move our hearts with wild hopes.'"

-Robert F. Mornea, Resurrection to Pentecost

The Love That is God

"Our questions and our questing are crucial, because they can help us live into the answer of the future. 

I am certain of one thing: the love that is God is at the heart of the answer, just as it is at the heart of each moment - past, present, and future...

We act in faith, knowing that we see only dimly. But living in faith, we act anyway, choosing and doing the best we can...

For God's grace embraces our questions as well as our answers and our blindness as well as our vision, just as the sun shines steadily through the night, waiting to illuminate the sky at dawn." 
-Jean M. Blomquist, Wrestling till Dawn
