Spirit is timeless.  It is formless.  Across millennia, It manifests in mundane things, in ordinary ways, in subtle relationships with Nature --- and through all of us as we wind a slippery path strewn with greed, guilt, pity, anger, and the occasional Coke bottle. 

And sometimes -- folks write things that display Spirit's presence.

I don't often suggest to folks that they read a specific letter - or even that they read anything at all.  After all, I'm a subtle old fart -- if ya don't ask for a serving, ya might go hungry at my table.

But I read Hoop's "An Invitation".....and I was struck in the forehead by the presence of subtle Spirit --- in a mundane posting, at a mundane community site, on a typical day in the life of a fart.

Yeah - it was from a Native American Elder --- and I know alot of yas don't want to read Pow-Wow talk or hear about the Great White Spirit.  Well - the letter ain't like that.  It is a message that you all can profit from, regardless your race or gender or religion or sexual persuasion.

So I am suggestiing that -- if you have not yet read "The Invitation"  - posted on this community site.....that you put down whatever else you are watching or reading --- and Make Time to read this letter.  Turn off the TV - turn down the Radio, leave the newspaper on the bathroom floor --- and read "The Invitation".

And if you cannot find a sliver, a smidgeon, a speck of Spirit that reaches out and SMACKS you in the forehead, and says --- Wake up...time to go to work in this Wurld.........

then your mind's eye is blind to Spirit, and I will cry for you on this day.

And then I'll move on.

blessing be, kids
