Welcome back Todd. May there be an essence of nard – in some form- to anoint and bless you and your family in the midst of these days. I appreciate this reflection, as I do all. A simple haiku emerged from my meditation:
Fragrance fills the space
Shall I anoint or grab hold?
Nard spreads across skin

I created a sculpture on the related story in Luke 7:36-50. My thoughts went to the message of forgiveness at the heart of that scene … The invitation to forgive others and ourselves ; may I allow Gods forgiveness to cover over those darker choices I make in any moment.
See you at contemplative gathering tonite 🙏🏻
~ Jane

  So wonderful to get your reflection, Jane. Would you be open to sharing photos of your art? I am really interested. I like that haiku! Warmly, Todd
