and I am the inner room
I am every brick

Gather your nets to catch the Lord –
but I assure you, they can never be big enough

I know you’re scared, so come to me

Posted on July 11, 2016 by Meisaan Chan

I know you’re scared, so come to me
take off your armor, disrobe into vulnerability;
feel my protection, celestial and free
I know you’re scared, so come to me

If I place my hope in the world

Posted on July 11, 2016 by Meisaan Chan

If I place my hope in the world,
my hope is origami paper in the rain;
If I place my hope in you,
my hope is an eternal pathway to an eternal source
O God, O God, O God

Note from Meisaan: Invitation to a self-care retreat

Posted on July 8, 2016 by Meisaan Chan

Dear Friends,

Are you feeling exhausted, empty? I’m very happy to announce that I’m giving a self-care retreat for people who are spiritual but not religious. Feel free to pass this information along to anyone you think might be interested, and/or keep it, if that person is you.

Fondly,
Meisaan
