Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
With your one wild and precious life?”Mary Oliver
“Sometimes I needonly to stand
wherever I am
to be blessed."
Mary Oliver
"And only you can see the good
In broken things.
You took my heart of stone
And you made it home
And set this prisoner free."
In broken things.
You took my heart of stone
And you made it home
And set this prisoner free."
Bethany Dillon
“We sometimes choose the most locked up, dark versions of the story, but
what a good friend does is turn on the lights, open the window, and
remind us that there are a whole lot of ways to tell the same story.”
Shauna Niequist
I am not alone...
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."Matthew 11:28-30

"When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives mean the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a warm and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares."
~Henri Nouwen
