Feeny Wood

A year later, we revisit poet Richard Osler. Enjoy. https://buddybreathing.wordpress.com//napomo-poetry-party/

One year later, and still so good. https://buddybreathing.wordpress.com//napomo-poetry-party/

Our Feeny Wood partnership with OSS is noted on their website. Now we wait for spring and the germination of test areas sown with native grass seed. Thanks, Okanagan Similkameen Stewardship! https://www.osstewardship.ca/projects

A year like no other - https://mailchi.mp/3b188a2da519/2020-and-yet-there-is-good In Spring 2020, Feeny Wood officially opened to the community. Guests came on retreat seeking solitude and silence. They wrote, walked, read, and prayed in the seclusion of the woodland Bothy. Some received spiritual direction. All received fresh baked Irish soda bread...

Morning Meditation Some mornings the sun polishes Ponderosa to silver, where each whorl of needles and cones is as radiant as a small sun, where nuthatches finding seed, circle like tiny planets in orbits of praise. Thank you, holy one, for the light that welcomes us to another day. May we see you in the details. ... Amen.

As the days lengthen, and snow begins to settle us in to a time of rest, there are still some fruits to forage and transform. #gratefulharvest

DAILY MEDITATION | NOVEMBER 23, 2020 | Henri J. M. Nouwen Reflect the Peace of Christ Maybe you should make a prayer room in your house . . . a place where you can go and often return and let God speak to you. . . .... Never forget the words In this world you will have troubles but be brave: I have overcome the world. Every time you spend silent time in your prayer room you celebrate Christ’s victory over the world (over death, over the evil one) and allow yourself to taste already now the peace that comes from this victory. It is so important for the people around you to see that peace of Christ reflected in your eyes, your hands, and your words. There is more power in that than in all your teaching and organizing. That is the truth we need to keep telling each other. "But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us." 2 CORINTHIANS 4:7 (NIV)

What is prayer? "Arise, cry out in the night, as the watches of the night begin; pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord." Lamentations 2:19
