which is Christ in you”

"The Christian of the future will be
a mystic or will not exist at all.”
Asking not who is our friend, but whose friend can we be.
Rooted in classical Christianity
with branches reaching into the future.
"To desire God is the greatest passion,
to seek God the greatest adventure,
to discover God the greatest discovery."

The Way of the Awakening Heart

The Way of the Awakening Heart – is awaking to God. It is hearts awakening to the mysterious presence, peace, and power of God. It is also awakening to the poetic or divine life; awakening to others. Namely showing kindness and compassion to everyone we meet all the twenty-four hours of the day. The heart, which is the center of our wakefulness, is that inner placeless place, where all that is most essential about us lives. It is where our hopes and deepest longings, our courage and our fears, our most painful hurts and sorrows, our joys and shining moments reside. The heart is where that which is most precious to us is stored.
