Dearly Beloved,
Grace and Peace to you.
Holy One,
I am the woods
you walk through.
I am the hall
where your singing resounds.
I am the morning
you rise in.
I am the body
in which you breathe,
you beat, you spark,
you flow.
My pain
you dwell in,
my plainness
you fill,
my not knowing
you see from within,
In them I seek you
who are here.
I am the poem,
you are the truth.
You are the hunger,
I am the food.
Deep Blessings,
Pastor Steve

About Me
- Pastor Steve
- Unfolding Light is a daily reflection rooted in a contemplative, Creation-centered spirituality, often inspired by my daily walk in the woods. In poems, parables, psalms, thoughts and the odd weather report I hope to invite readers into a spirit of presence, compassion, justice and delight. Though these writings are rooted in the Christian story you’ll hear in them melodies of many traditions. Unfolding Light is for anyone who wants to be a part of God’s healing of the world. I'm a United Methodist Pastor in Acton, Massachusetts where I live with my wife Beth. I've served for 31 years, mostly in Montana and New Hampshire, and also lived in California, Washington, South Dakota and Minnesota. We have three sons in their 20's... I don't know that they'd want to hear it this way, but I think they're lovely. I am nowhere near as mature as I sound in my writing, but I'm trying to learn from myself.
