Farmer Fred is happy you're here! |
This welcome page is set up to give you an overview of our daily operations. For over twenty five years the farm has been more and more focused on the light and growing in it. It has not been a smooth journey by any stretch of the imagination. You see, as we try to look steadily at the light and soak it up the weeds grow right up with the wheat in our very own hearts. Here on the farm we strive to deal with those weeds and nourish the wheat.
This website is intended to be a sharing of the light that has grown so many good things here on the farm. What things you ask? Well for starters it has grown...
Arrows of Light
This portion of the site is very sporadic as life happens and prevents new blog posts from appearing for long stretches. It is called Arrows of Light because here on the farm we've become focused more on lighting a light than cursing the darkness. Arrows of Light is also a beautiful song by Bruce Cockburn.
Hopefully you will find the entries cast more light than heat and bring you a blessing.

During quiet times, certain prayers seem to sprout up and cross pollinate with images I use as meditation tools. This is known as Visio Divina and is related to Lectio Divina. In time these grow into little prayer cards that capture their essence. They get shared with others who resonate with their truth and beauty. Such people find them to be helpful focal points and reminders.
Sometimes these cards are left in places where people might appreciate them; like prayer chapels and such. In fact you may have arrived at this site as a result of that. In the Visio Divina section those little creations are explained a bit. You may find it helpful to explore that.
These and other gifts are given freely to bless you. Some of you (even before we obtained our non-profit status) have asked if you can give something in return. Honestly, it had never occurred to us to allow this as we don’t desire any material profit from the books, prayer cards or other things shared. (See Photon Farms financial statement here.)

These images and prayers have been cross pollinating on the farm for years and have finally grown into a form that is easy to give away. |
