Mt Angel Abbey, Deeper Still

We toured the Abbey yesterday with Brother Basil. 
Wonderful. Deep. Restful. 
A beautiful humid cloud filled day.
 Come away for awhile.
 A treasure for children to behold.
 Rare book room
 We were invited to feel, hold, and experience.
 Learn.
 Look.
 Listen.
 Walk.
 Pray.
 
Presence.

For Whom the Bell Tolls

God calls men,
from among the nations.
They come,
 and take their place.
All for worship.

Living a story.
They write with foot steps.
Quietly, they come for noonday prayer.

Living. Loving. Learning.
Intentionally.
For he who responds to the bells,
hears the voice of God.

Let him who has ears to hear, hear.
Let him who has a voice, lift it up.

He heard the bell.
He came to your temple.

The cross lifted high among men.
The cross descended among men.
