Once you’ve heard a child cry out to heaven for help, and go unanswered, nothing’s ever the same again. Nothing. Even God changes. But there is a healing hand at work that cannot be deflected from its purpose. I just can’t make sense of it, other than to cry. Those tears are part of what it...
Harvest is a time for thanksgiving. In this different and often difficult year the things that we give thanks for may be different too: The people in the front line in the fight against Covid 19 The systems that have supported us over the past months, shopworkers, delivery drivers, and others. Our family and friends. Worship...

It’s Fine Today By Douglas Malloch Sure, this world is full of trouble I ain’t said it ain’t. Lord, I’ve had enough and double Reason for complaint; Rain and storm have come to fret me, Skies are often gray; Thorns and brambles have beset me On the road — but say, Ain’t it fine today? What’s the...
Let everything that has life, let everything that has breath give all the glory and honour and praise to the One who overcame death. Let every living thing sing of the mercies of our God. Let us exalt Him wherever we live with thanksgiving and joy in our hearts. If we don’t praise Him, the mountains...
The Invitation By Oriah Mountain Dreamer It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love...
What Life Should Be By Pat A. Fleming To learn while still a child What this life is meant to be. To know it goes beyond myself, It’s so much more than me. To overcome the tragedies, To survive the hardest times. To face those moments filled with pain, And still manage to be kind....
The True Meaning Of Life By Pat A. Fleming The Years have passed by, In the blink of an eye, Moments of sadness, And joy have flown by. People I loved, Have come and have gone, But the world never stopped, And we all carried on. Life wasn’t easy, And the struggles were there, Filled with...
Good evening everyone Domenico Scarlatti was born in1685, the same year as Bach and Handel.

His Sonata in E minor is one of...

My Lord God, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think that I am following Your will does not mean that I am actually doing so....
Morning Prayer Good morning good Cornerstone friends and followers. I am enjoying a change of surroundings on the Suffolk coast, but have my phone to follow our daily prayers while away. However, I am told that the wi-fi connections where we are staying and in most of these parts of Suffolk are a little uncertain so...
TOUCH THE EARTH (ONCE AGAIN) By Juan Felipe Herrera This is what we do: this is what the cotton truck driver does: this is what the tobacco leaf roller does: this is what the washer-woman & the laundry worker does: this is what the grape & artichoke worker does: not to mention the cucumber workers —...
Primero Sueño, First Dream: On Crossing, A Whitmanesque By Desirée Alvarez What is it then between us? ¿Qué es entonces entre nosotros? My horse is afraid of you and both of us are thirsty. Stone face, we crossed the seas from Spain, I’ve been riding for days past pyramids in Mexico. Whatever it is, it avails...
Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery that it is. In the boredom and pain of it no less than in the excitement and gladness: touch, taste, smell your way to the holy and hidden heart of it because in the last analysis all moments are key moments, and life itself is grace....
