Beautiful words that touch my inner peace written by John Roedel

lately, when I need to pray

I go to the church that
has no doors

and where the walls are
made of carved granite

I sit under its moving roof
on a pew that smells
like fresh pine

and fold my hands quietly
until God joins me ~

here in this most ancient of churches,
I watch a dozen fat rainbow angel dressed
as trout dance in the baptismal font

and wonder out loud:

“when will I too,
be made anew?”

there is a special kind of holy quiet here
that rings much louder than any fat
church bell I have ever known

and the silence often rattled my ribs ~

it’s choir loft is high up in a birds nest
and it’s confessional is a breeze
that asks me to speak my sins

and I do, and then they are carried away ~

the longer I sing psalms in this church
the shorter my memory for all of
my past mistakes become

and that is when I hear
the Voice of Love speak

“oh tired light, oh wounded heart,
oh my child of crumbling grace,
come plant your feet in this Eden,
come rest in this sacred space

oh weary traveler, oh somber fire,
oh shaking heart that is prone to fear,
come lay in My ribboned water
come to fully know that I’m right here

oh wilting daisy, oh dying star
oh broken song that needs a name,
come sit with Me among the wild,
and then you’ll never be the same “

God and I take turns
saying all we need to say
to each other

I speak in short heavy jagged breaths
and the Divine replies in thin long pauses

this goes on until the sun begins to set ~

that’s when it’s time to leave
and even though I go home
I’m always still there

in the antiquated church
of trees and valleys

where foxes are lectors
where horizons are steeples
where clouds are vestibules
where campfires are incense
where time is a gospel
where the great flow is a sacrament
where forests are community

where a little piece of me always still remains
talking to the voice of whispering Love
as I watch trout be slain in the spirit

and I can’t stop marveling
at the altar of creation

Remembering our ancestors and honouring women of all times.

It was not witches who burned.
It was women.
Women who were seen as;
Too beautiful,
Too outspoken,
Had too much water in the well (yes, seriously),
Who had a birthmark,
Women who were too skilled with herbal medicine,
Too loud,
Too quiet,
Too much red in their hair,
Women who had a strong nature connection,
Women who danced,
Women who sang,
or anything else, really.

Any woman was at risk of burning in the 1600’s. Sisters testified and turned on each other when their babies were held under ice.

Children were tortured to confess their experiences with “witches” by being fake executed in ovens.

Women were held under water and if they could float, they were guilty and executed. If they sank and drowned they were innocent.

Women were thrown off cliffs.
Women were put in deep holes in the ground.

Why do I write this?

Because knowing our history is important when we are building a new world.

When we are doing the healing work of our lineages and as women.

To give the women who were slaughtered a voice, to give them redress and a chance of peace.

It was not witches who burned.
It was women.

On 3rd October I helped a family say goodbye to their son brother cousin nephew grandson.

He was only 22 and stolen from them by another. Hundreds of his friends attended his funeral as we celebrated his life.

John was such a well loved young man. He loved nothing more than seeing others happy.

His family now feel a great grief, a complicated grief as their loss was not through natural causes.

John's mother Lisa bears the loss of her baby boy with such dignity such strength she is an amazing lady who I know will make a difference in the future in John's name.

It felt an honour to get to know Lisa, and John through her. .

Thank you for your words Lisa.

Gaynor made what should have been the hardest thing for a mother to do easy, talking about John life was hard as he was only 22 when he was stolen from us but she had a way that made it manageable, she was amazing doing my Son's John’s service she truly put her heart into it and gave my beautiful boy the best send of a mother could ask for. Not only this but she is the most caring loveliest person I have met and want to thank her so much. ❤️

❤️❤️❤️❤️
