"The winds of grace
are always blowing but its you who must raise your sail." __Sri
Ramakrishna
Welcome to my ministry
and my place on the web! I hope you will allow the profound
wisdom of Sri
Ramakrishna's words to settle deep within your heart and soul!
Finding "grace" is
becoming aware that it is all around us. We must simply open
our hearts and allow
that we ARE worthy to receive it. This is what he meant by
"... its you who must
raise your sail."
When I first announced my ordination to a group of friends, one of them
sent me
the following quote
from Richard Bach's book Illusions: "We best teach what we
most need to learn." Indeed,
my whole life has been about learning who I am and
who we all really are.
Perhaps that's why this quote from the Desiderata has
stuck with me, "You are
a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the
stars; you have a right
to be here." The writer of these words clearly understood
God's grace: the
unmerited favor toward us all!
In addition to the ceremonies I offer, my highest intention for this
site is that
it will be a light upon
your path, a place for inspiration and a guide in helping
you become all that you
are meant to be!
This site and the writer are both a work in progress. So are we all!
May your sails be filled with the Winds of Grace!
Namaste!
