Dearly Beloved,
Grace and Peace to you.
May you be given eyes to see
in all that is bare and ordinary in you
an extravagant blossoming.
May your presence be a blessing,
that others may feel with you
as if they have awakened
to a lovely spring day.
May your gifts suddenly bloom
in colors beyond your imagining.
May the swans of God's grace
descend upon your pond
and build nests there,
and raise their young.
May your whole earth
inside and out
be made new.
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.
