The River Lee as a stream briefly parts into three to reunite again on its journey down towards the beautiful Gougane Barra.

‘God is like a mirror. The mirror never changes but everybody who looks at it sees something different.’ ~Harold Kushner

The image of a mirror is useful in explaining God in our lives. Everybody who looks into the mirror is going to see something completely different and so all our experiences of God are different. These vary from positive to negative, from no experience to a very moving experience. Our faith journey is a collection of all these different experiences. Each one is valued and respected.

When all are put together they point to someone who is special, important and who brings meaning and direction to our lives. Like a stream that parts and divides, it eventually rejoins the one source from which it came. This one source makes the world of a difference. It doesn’t mean we have all the answers but it does mean we have a lot more than nothing at all.
