The heart is like a garden
The heart is like a garden. It can grow compassion or fear, resentment or love. What seeds will you plant there?
Today when I receive communion, I am reminded of our dark roots within the earth. I know my energy flows in two directions: the Spirit lifts me up, yet my bond with all creation pulls me down into the depths of life. This moment of tension -- when we are suspended between the heavens and natural world -- is the heart of every liturgy.
