A “charism” is a spiritual gift given to share with others for their benefit. Clarence has been given the charisms of spiritual direction, writing poetry and painting. Over the past nine years, he has shared these gifts through his book Everyday Sacred and his monthly email, Connecting New. During this time many of you have affirmed that sharing these gifts has been uplifting, inspiring, thought-provoking or helpful to you in other ways. You have shared Connecting New emails with your friends. You have used poems from Everyday Sacred at retreats, weddings, funerals and many occasions in between. Now is the time for Clarence to share more through a daily piece of goodness. You can receive daily excerpts of these pieces of goodness by signing up from the contact page.
A Piece of Goodness
November 7 - It feels like a ten thousand mile journey...to see people as people rather than problems to solve, as my mother, father, sister, brother…
November 4 - Awaken in me oh God another animal, a dog, I pray, carefree, playful, generous, loving, living in the moment.
November 2 - To be affirmed, to be accepted, to feel loved and interconnected with others. Yes, that’s still what I long for.
