Descend, Holy Spirit
Descend, Holy Spirit of Life!
Come down into our hearts, that we may live.
Descend into emptiness, that emptiness may be filled.
Descend into the dust, that the dust may flower.
Descend into the dark, that the light may shine in the darkness. Amen.
—Frances Caryll Houselander
I don't know where I found this but it's a very good prayer. You may read a bit about Houselander here and here.

I know that window. :-)
After our earlier conversations, I thought of you as I posted it, Kirstin. I have used several of my photos there as desktop pics, esp. on the St Cuddy's computer in the office.
Thanks for thinking of me. :-)
The banner pic on my blog is a sunrise there. The place, and the people, are so deeply healing.
