"Healing Happens from Within "
with Rev. Ron Moor and musician James Schattauer
In our journey of soul so far, we have woken up, started out, felt alone, found friends along the way, looked within, and started letting go. As we do all this, we uncover the "treasure within" and begin to experience true healing. On this first day of June we will explore how healing can, and does happen. We will also honor and celebrate Kids With Spirit.

Rumpled God
The Seeker
by Joey Garcia
The world is smitten with a god
who keeps a sharp crease in his pants,
and whispers, "No! Not like that!"
Oh, but I love the rumpled God
who forgets where he lives, forgets
his own name but never forgets mine.
