Eremos, 30 words for 30 years
In laughter or in silence
Sharing a sense of belonging
a curiosity about Life
a desire for compassion in action
As we move closer to Spirit
Closer to one another.
—Julie Bowman

Vamos Eremos
I see relationships that endure
Sharing tools and truths so pure.
Poems. Books. Collage.
Groups of practice –Reflect the Holy’s image.
So much spiritual food.
I remember you with gratitude.
