A Name

Naming this blog was almost the demise of it. Four days and thirty-one alternatives later, “Echoing Eden” now has an official .com. Recently, I have been captivated by God’s untamed creativity, His boundless mysteries and the passionate yearnings He’s planted deep in the soul of every human being. Even when life looks like a dark streak of suffering, goodness still stems for Eden. My hope is to use this space as a treasure log of light.

The following is a Celtic prayer that resonates these sentiments.

“In the morning light, O God,
may I glimpse again Your image deep within me
the threads of eternal glory
woven into the fabric of every man and woman.
Again may I catch sight of the mystery of the human soul
fashioned in Your likeness
deeper then knowing
more enduring than time.
And in glimpsing these threads of light
amidst the weakness and distortions of my life
let me be recalled
to the strength and beauty deep in my soul.
Let me be recalled
to the strength and beauty of your image in every living soul.”
