Meredith--that was a beautiful description of Gaia as the universe. A little shameless promotion here... my novel is a fun read for anyone, but it is about a woman who inherits a very old house from a birth mother who was a witch. There's a tiny bit of fantasy in it, but it also reflects a very real description and story of what witches/goddess women are like. Just in case anyone wants to read it...

I believe in the union of three persons [God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost] in one Godhead, or the threefold personality of the one Divine Being. I believe humans are body, soul and spirit; when we die, our spirits live forever with the Holy Spirit. I believe God is everywhere, all the time. And I pray A LOT!!! "Portals of Prayer" is my daily mainstay. And Sunday, September 4, 2005 the reading is entitled: ASAP. I hadn't thought about it before but "As Soon As Possible" may also signal us to take a breather and "ALWAYS SAY A PRAYER!" Cool huh? Ciao, brose

Bonnierose, I like that "ASAP". I love snappy little phrases that I can throw at myself throughout the day. Pattyann gave me "Harm None", which has already become a favourite mantra for me in the few short days since she shared it here. And now your "ASAP" will become another.
When my Dad died unexpectedly in 1999, I really foundered in my faith, a faith which had been profound, life-giving and life-long to that point. I was very angry and hurt that God hadn't "saved" my Dad like I'd seen him save so many other people's loved ones. It took me a long time to forgive Him, although in truth, the whole time I was raging at Him I guess I was admitting there was a Him to rate at, wasn't I!
Anyway, as painful as it was to go through that estrangement, it's that much more joyful to be back Home. Still, when faced with rough people and tough situations, prayer doesn't come as automatic as it used to. Your ASAP will change that! Thanks!!!

I believe in one God who sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for us. I believe God is love. I know Jesus is Lord and he has such amazing grace and love for us we can not begin to understand how high and how long and how wide his love for us really is

Celtic, I too really miss the voices of the women who participated in this thread many years ago. I really enjoyed hearing about the beliefs and customs of people of other faith systems. It enhances and enriches us to learn more about others and to celebrate what unites us...I have long cherished our ability to celebrate unity in diversity here at BWS. We've lost so many of those wise women...but I look forward to hearing from others who journey through these threads with us now. This season means different things to many people.
