ADVENT is a Time of Waiting and all creation, not merely humans, wait and yearn for the day when shalom and shalem embrace and together become the stillness within the song and the song within the stillness that bring healing and jubilation at last to the luminous body that is our home. But peace and wholeness require our participation if the dream of God and the dance of all life are to come to fruition. And every dance has a first step, but it is not with the foot.

The earth
The earth is waiting.
The earth is waiting for us.
The earth is waiting for us to stop.
The earth is waiting for us to stop, be still.
The earth is waiting for us to stop, be still, and listen.

Listen.       Listen.       Listen

“Please.
Stop
desecrating
my
body.”

♦ Shalom (shuh–lohm) is the English transliteration of the Hebrew word for peace.
♦ Shalem (shuh-lame) is the English transliteration of the Hebrew word for wholeness.
