And so, I Blog!!

Soooo, everybody is blogging except for Moi? Is this the newest form of writing? Are we headed towards the reality of the movie "Fahrenheit 451 "? What a tragedy that would be!! I have tried Twitter~for about 48 hours ,not for me at all! I do Facebook, but also find it to be truly surfacy and a bit of a waste of my time. I like to write, not twit or mindlessly comment. So, I guess I will. :) Here I will share on the most precious thing in my life, my recovery and my spiritual journey. If my only audience is that of the ether, that will be good enough ... for I write not to be read, but because I am called to write!!! And so, I blog!!
I will begin with the daily readings from the book:
A Grateful Heart ~ 365 ways to give thanks at mealtime edited by MJ Ryan
The Winter Prayers began on the first day of winter ~ so I am begining there. The winter prayers begin with this thought:
A thankful soul is thankful under all circumstances, a complaining soul complains even if he lives in paradise. -BAHA'U'LLAH
Please join me in thought-provoking conversaton! Namaste' Cate

Come as YOU ARE


Come, come, whoever you are,
Wanderer, worshipper, lover of leaving -
    it doesn’t matter,
ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you broken your vows a
hundred times.
Come, come again, come.
                     - Rumi



When I took my first vows as a nun,
the entrance hymn was called
"Come as you Are".
It was a song given to me by an Augustinian novice from Australia
named Jared.  We had become good friends before he left the novitiate
and returned to his home country.
The song was an Australian Christian song with a bit of a  soft country beat ...
and expressed so much what I really believe ...
that we can all come to God,
always,
in all ways,
no matter what!
The heart of God is ALWAYS open!!

This is a newer, rockier song ...
but the thought is the same.

Love, 
Cate
