My Cloud of Witnesses

My Cloud of Witnesses

There are moments I feel as if
I am on this journey by myself.
Then I remember that I am surrounded
by a cloud of witnesses.
There are those who are walking with me,
my dearest of friends and my soulmate.
There are who walk behind me.
I may not be mindful of their presence at all times,
but they truly have my back
and advocate for me,
even when I am not aware.
There are those ahead of me,
who may not seem as if they are with me,
but they are clearing the path for me.
Finally, there are those who created the path
on which I am now walking.
They are the ones who fought for my rights
before I ever existed.
Together,
they are my cloud of witnesses,
who love and support me
in ways I may never understand,
or be mindful of,
but are ever present for me.

What a Ride

What a Ride

It was Gail Ricciuti
my favorite seminary professor,
who shared this Hunter S. Thompson quote
“Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, “Wow what a ride!”
Can you say that?
Life is like a roller coaster
it is filled with ups and downs.
it is not about the ride
but the journey.
It is about learning from the downs
as they are what helps us get to and appreciate the ups.
If we are living our spiritual life to its fullest,
we experience our share of bumps and bruises.
Often it is in the losses,
the trials,
the challenges, and
the obstacles
that we learn how to
become an overcomer.
It is through the times others have said,
I am not sure how you survived that,
that I give thanks for the chance to learn
just how strong I am.
It is through the losses,
that I have learned
just how wealthy and blessed I am.
My journey,
and I am sure most of yours,
has not been easy.
Yet I hope you can join me
in celebrating and shouting
WOW! What a ride!!!
