Home of st. stephen's online prayer book. We had a lovely Fireside Chat today by Rachael Barham on the value of uncertainty and the power of a question.

It must love me like no other. And cause me to love in return. 8211; To love the mist itself. And the shapes that rise in it,. If this mist be Love. What if...

waltert – reconnecting
http://together.ssu.ca/author/waltert
Home of st. stephen's online prayer book. This is the other poem that Rachael shared with us at last week’s talk on uncertainty and questions:]. Never underestimate the power of a question. Don’t dismiss it as mere herald to the all-powerful answer,. Or despise its uncertainty as feeble or unsafe. A good question is full of life. It bursts with the curiosity and promise of undiscovered worlds. Its key turns the lock of never-opened doors. So don’t let your own question spill heedlessly from your mouth.
