I was 8 years old when my dad gave that talk! Now I'm watching it 10 years later. Eventually I'll read Soil and Sacrament when I get the time. Great talk, Dad!
its sad with a video like this, that i gotta i find myself, 8 years later, as the 8th comment and the 88ths THUMBS UP! maybe not sad. but i have to say without Fred's video "On the Road with Thomas Merton" for Emergence, i don't know if i'd have been able to drive in such unforgiving conditions this past year. between the virus and fear of the unknown, that video changed my life. Truth in Love is not easy to capture, and Fred nailed it. may God send us all to a wise old Sister this year. Love.
Beautifully stated. Beautifully lived. We are the bridge between the Divine and the Dust of the Earth, and only when we are connected to both are we truly alive!
What a great affirmation of faith communities who gladly embrace soil & sacrament. Two of my favorites are Idaho's Create Common Good and New Hampshire's His Mansion Ministries.
