Wednesday night's full moon-Hunter's Moon, Blackberry Moon? Harvest Moon?
Thanks to a friend I found out today that Thomas Keating died. He was a Trappist monk who has been very influential in the centering prayer movement. In this quote he helps us understand:
"The gift of God is absolutely gratuitous. It's not something you earn. It's something that's there. It's something you just have to accept. This is the gift that has been given. There's no place to go to get it. There is no place you can go to avoid it. It just is. It's part of our very existence. And so the purpose of all the great religions is to bring us into this relationship with reality that is so intimate that no words can describe it."
