All My Words Have Holes in Them: Simple Daily Meditations

By Ginny Wilder

Powerful, image-filled reflections on listening to and responding to the Holy within and around us
Have you ever worked up the courage to pray and opened your mouth to discover you didn't know what to say? Perhaps you were worried you might sound foolish or like a toddler or worse yet, you might say something you didn't really mean. Or have you ever steadied yourself to pray, lit a candle, rang the singing bowl, and realized that there were no words in our human language that could possibly contain what it is that you want to say in prayer. Our words have holes in them. Ginny Wilder offers a collection of prayers, poems, reflections, and stories written from a heart that knows what it is like to dwell in the fringe and in the wilderness. It was her ongoing conversation with God, knowing that her words had holes in them, that helped keep her connected and grounded when leaving and coming back to church. These writings are geared towards those who need a different kind of way to nourish their spiritual journey - the spiritually hungry, lost (and found), seekers, and anyone contemplating their prayer life and relationship with God. The language is simple, the settings are personal, and the conversation is always between our hearts and the heart of our God.
