we are re-membered

[Gabrielle Dean]

As we approach the ‘thin’ time of the year and the feast of All Saints and All Souls, we discover again that we are known and whole  in the heart of the universal Mystery.  

And the Great Spirit who loves us

and has given us our true names 

whispers them in darkness

when we are alone

when we are weary

when we are despairing,

And we are re-membered

in the heart of God.

Kathy Galloway, a former leader of the Iona Community – a ‘thin’ place
