a parting blessing – alfred v. fedak – 2008

Hello to you. I just saw the sad news that Dolly Parton has died at age 80. It’s hard to believe as she has been a part of my life for so long. One of my earliest memories of her was my going into the book mobile and signing out her album with the song Coat of Many Colors:

Dolly is one of those gems we have not wanted to lose!

Spin of the World Prayer Wheel today:

Walk softly upon the earth.
May its beauty forever surround you,
its wonders forever astound you.

May its wisdom delight you,
its music invite you
to dance and to play and to sing.

May you love and be loved by all that you meet;
may you know and practice compassion.

Rejoice in the earth and in all of creation.
Rejoice in life.

I had to draw it myself:

I just had to try my hand at drawing this profound and simple message!

My heart is all Jesus wants! It’s not complicated even though I sometimes make it so.
