I'm a bit uneasy tonight. Rita is bearing down on the Texas/Louisiana coast, headed straight for an area my older brother lives. He lives in Jasper, just north of Beaumont. I'm worried about the tornadoes that will be spawned.
Whereas the Gulf Coast has been dealing with nature's force and destruction the past two months, tonight I was blessed to experience what I call "the healing side of nature." As we were singing Compline, we had some voices of nature join us. During the chanting of the Psalms an owl added a few hoots, and at the close of the office we heard the coyotes yipping and howling. There was something calming in hearing the sounds of nature join our chorus. Reminding me of the deep connection and interconnectedness we have with all creation.
About Me
- Sr. Lilli Ana
- (I'll upload a new pic soon.) The habit sort of gives it away, doesn't it? Well, maybe the outside picture but not the inside, and definitely not the whole. Reading my writings I hope you'll learn more about the Deep-Time picture of what makes up "me", for my history began 13.7 billion years ago; and, there is only One "I" out of which we all bring ourselves forth into the intricate web of life we find ourselves in today.
