I have been so impressed this year with the spring color in the woods, almost a muted autumn. Yesterday, as I drove along a country road, the early sun was hitting these woods just right. I was looking for the best angle when I came across the art work of a farmer.
As we come to the end of the Easter season we have been reflecting a lot on the Holy Spirit's breathing new life into our hearts, sticking with us, and holding us in an eternal loving embrace. These are comforting reflections.
Now in Pentecost the Spirit becomes a fierce wildfire, setting us aflame with a Love that cannot be contained, a raging Love that sets fire to everyone and everything we come near. Ghandi said, "A lukewarm thing loses its heat when it touches something else; a burning thing sets fire to everything it touches." We are no more than kindling. It is the Spirit within us who spreads the Good News of Gracious Love.
