“My secret is that I need God—that I am sick and can no longer make it alone. I need God to help me give, because I no longer seem to be capable of giving; to help me be kind, as I no longer seem capable of kindness; to help me love, as I seem beyond being able to love.”
— Douglas Coupland, Life After God

We are so just like little kids
Me thinking I’m doing God a favor doing this hard good thing when really He’s just being patient with me letting me participate in this insanely huge intricate beautiful project he’s working on that I can’t understand in a million years just cause he loves me and would rather do this with me than otherwise

god says im her favorite lamb in the flock. the cord that ties the bell around my neck keeps getting torn off in the brambles and I have to be wrestled to the ground if you want any of my wool. My bleating is loud and insistent and sometimes I can't ever be quieted. god can't play the coquette shepherdess with me; she has to put on coveralls and boots and use the muscles in her arms. I kick up dust and headbutt her and every time I wander away, she comes to find me, with a smile on her face, and cradles my head in the palm of her hand. someday, when the blade hits my skin, I don't even feel it. My blood splashes like water and I am grateful to be able to give something back to the soil and plants of the earth.

Lakota Trinity by the late artist Father John Giuliani
"In this image, the great Father—Wakan Tanka—appears with a full headdress of eagle feathers in a halo of light.
His open hands deliver the Son, a victorious Sioux warrior whose raised arms and open hands reflect a similar gesture of self-giving.
He wears a richly decorated buckskin war shirt—heavily fringed, beaded and painted with the four color circle of the universe as its breast plate.
The eagle represents the Holy Spirit and completes the spiral of trinitarian love and unity."
From the Catholic Extension Society.
