Henri Nouwen – more wisdom
The Intimacy of the Table The table is one of the most intimate places in our lives. It is there that we give ourselves to one another. When we say, “Take some more, let me serve you another plate, let me pour you another glass, don’t be shy, enjoy it,” we say a lot more […]

He seemed to know that this […]
Celtic Spirituality
There has been a renaissance of interest in Celtic spirituality in the last few decades. Although most-things-Celtish are associated with Ireland, the Celts lived at various times throughout most of Western Europe.
