Thin Places …Rivers
Matthew 3:13-17, 6:31-34
Celtic Christians recognized “thin places,” as places where the veil between heaven and earth is very sheer, or tissue paper thin.
“Life is this simple: we are living in a world that is absolutely transparent and the divine is shining through it all the time. This is not just a nice story or a fable, it is true.” – Thomas Merton.
