Wild Goose Festival 2019
Many of you have asked me, "where are you going?" "what is this festival all about?" So each day I will give you a glimpse into my experience here. So let us begin with Wild Goose itself. When I took my Resurrection Pilgrimage to Ireland and Scotland this winter I traveled with Celtic Spirituality as my companion. As we got to know each other better, I found myself recommitting to my baptismal vow to resist evil, injustice, and oppression in whatever forms they present themselves. Back to the wild goose ... which according to Celtic Spirituality it is a symbol for the Holy Spirit rather than the dove. I connected to the Wild Goose podcast and here we are! The theme at this unconventional (thanks be to God) Holy Spirit gathering is CoCreate! Spirit-Justice-Music-Art. It is here that I intend to nurture my spirit and prophetic call to be a voice in the creation and distribution of a hopeful narrative that claims God's life-giving justice - without asking permission. Ottis Moss III brought us powerful words of challenge and inspiration this first night - let God be God, by any means necessary. Which means that our limited human imaginations cannot dictate the ways and places God is at work in our world - stop blocking the front door, bring those in from the margins into the presence of the holy, and use the roof when necessary - by any means necessary (Luke 5:17 ...).
.... Blessed Be .....
