IS THE SOUL'S HOSPITALITY.

Hospitality

I saw a stranger today.

I put food for him in the eating place

and drink in the drinking place

and music in the listening place.

In the Holy Name of the Trinity

he blessed myself and my house,

my goods and my family

And the lark said in her warble:

often often often

Goes Christ in the stranger's guise

O, often often often

Goes Christ in the stranger's guise.

Traditional Celtic Prayer

I read in a Kabbalah (Jewish Mysticism) Daily Tune Up the other day that saying something bad about someone is like sticking your finger in the light socket.  It never comes out without severe damage, and there is always damage surrounding the burn that we can not readily identify.

We never know who is walking in our midst, who the stranger is at our side, or who our "enemy" is...for all we know...it could be GOD, teaching us GOD's way....to LOVE.

To many, the butterfly is about LOVE, FREEDOM and TRANSFORMATION.

LOVING GOD
