A Whisper of Something Else

By Anna Berger No one in the world knows you’re here, Atop this ridge with your rose-flushed face and the dirt smudges up and down your faintly aching legs, you are alone. But God is no one because God is the One and the world is God’s and there’s a whisper of something else in […]

Embarking on the Journey

Jennie Kiffmeyer created this prezi as a kind of collaborative spirituality, using some of my images, other images from the Christian tradition and from the ancient world, and poetry that she wrote in response.  It’s incredibly beautiful.
