Springtime Sabbatical!

betsey and jane are taking a blog sabbatical for a month or so -- to read, reflect, garden, and grandmother! We'll catch up with you in early June. Blessings!

Easter Blessings from BETSEY:JANE

Openings
Now is the shining fabric of our day
Torn open, flung apart, rent wide by love.
Never again the tight, enclosing sky,
The blue bowl or star-illumined tent.
We are laid open to infinity
For Easter love has burst his tomb and ours.
Now nothing shelters us from God's desire -
Not flesh, not sky, not stars, not even sin.
Now glory waits so He can enter in.
Now does the dance begin.
