After this event, I tried to explain it to a friend who was unable to attend. It was hard to explain, each year I find myself only being able to say that God smiles on us. Yes, we make silly mistakes, and, yes, we have a lot to learn. Yes, we work hard and take scary risks. No, we are not ending poverty and, no, we are not making a profit or even much that could be measured in hard data. We're just spending time together cultivating beauty and community. But each year, there seems to be an added dynamic that clearly does not come from us - it is an energy and a restfulness and a beauty that I believe is from the Holy Spirit of the one true God who loves us deeply and graces us with His kindness. We are grateful.
