We are just the reeds,
the instruments,
the flutes of God,
allowing ourselves
to be played.

Then why, pray tell, friend
Do we, like grade school band,
Strike so frequent sour notes?
I guess, just like grade school bands, we’re learners and have to hope that others have patience with us. By the way, I have cringed at the efforts of grade school bands more than a few times. Peace! ~Dennis
I do like Richard Rohr, especially his book Falling Upward.
I’ve read many of his books. Currently reading Dancing Standing Still where this quote came from. If you enjoy his writing you might want to want to subscribe to his “Daily Meditations.” You can do that from the CAC website. If you’re having trouble finding it and need the address let me know. ~Dennis
