The Pains and Joys of the Here and Now
The spiritual life is not a life before, after, or beyond our everyday existence. No, the spiritual life can only be real when it is lived in the midst of the pains and joys of the here and now.

The Festive and The Still
When you recognize the festive and the still moments as moments of prayer then you gradually realize that to pray is to live.

Sometimes goodbye`s such a hard thing to say
There`s a Muppets song that always makes me cry.
Saying goodbye, going away
Seems like goodbye’s such a hard thing to say
Touching a hand, wondering why
It’s time for saying goodbye
Saying goodbye, why is it sad?
Makes us remember the good times we’ve had
Much more to say, foolish to try
It’s time for saying goodbye
Don`t want to leave, but we both know
Sometimes it’s better to go
Somehow I know we’ll meet again
Not sure quite where, and I don`t know just when
You’re in my heart, so until then
Wanna smile, wanna cry
Saying goodbye
La la la la la la la la
It’s time for saying goodbye
I feel like singing it to the amazingly beautiful warm autumn we have had.
And crying.
