“We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen apart, and to bring home those who have lost their way.”

I’m always struck by the beauty of my gardens this time of year. Especially the section I love the most where a statue of St. Francis resides. I was looking out my window this morning and his energy pulled me outside to just be with him for a few moments. He is under my limelight hydrangea tree that is now heavy with blooms and looks as if they are bending in grace toward him. I was honored to join in what felt like a divine moment I was invited to.
St. Francis overlooks Gidget’s memorial marker that is just a few feet away. It is truly such a sacred spot. It always fills me with so much hope and love.
Perusing quotes from St. Francis when I read the one above it pulled at my heart. It feels so appropriate for the times we are in.
There are many of us, including myself, doing our best to hold the light in these dark times. I was reminded recently that the darker it gets just means the more light that is being shed on the darkness. The light can only shine brilliantly through when we face the darkness.
This is how we heal. How we come together and how we move forward together. I felt this so strongly being with St. Francis and this quote for a few moments this morning and why I wanted to pass this on to you. Much peace and love to each of you.
