Welcome Home

Three deer, a blue heron, the call of a pileated woodpecker

Welcome me home.

The wind in the leaves, the ripples on the lake, the silence of this place

Welcome me home.

The water of life, the greetings of old friends, the words of the liturgy

Welcome us home.

This place is our home.

This place is God’s home.

Welcome home.
