This blog is mostly sermons, reflections and poetry of a currently retired (as of August 31, 2019) pastor residing in Mattawa/Desert Aire, Washington. An eremite is someone who lives in a wilderness or desert of some kind. I have often lived in remote places. Early Christian eremites lived under the discipline of solitude within the discipline of community. I'm learning how to be simultaneously retired and yet in continued ministry as a Christian in the Body, the Church of Jesus.

Love's Garden
Enclosed in your garden sweet with evening,
The voices of your friends, and your warm hand,
Your quiet gesture, camouflaged beneath the ebbing banter of a quieting world,
Your touch (so natural it went unseen)
Created, deep within, a mirror self
In embryo, a secret being born
With the nature of your true love impressed
On infant features.
Dennis Evans, 1980 revised
