Let me introduce myself. I am Lynn Rose Curtin, just turned 77. After six decades of living my passion of songwriting and performing, this is my first blog for Swan White Rose Ministry.

As a little girl, the power of the exchange between the minister of our church who came to the house to admonish my mother for being behind in the tithing to the church never left my heart. My brother and I sat there listening as we watched our mother cry, and then we cried. My heart went cold. I searched for God in nature, in different religions and cultures. My church became the mountains, forests, oceans and deserts, the stars, planets and vastness of the cosmos.

On the morning of August 2nd, 2024 my life was transformed when I was visited by the Presence of God. I felt a physical sensation of expanded warmth with a deep peace and stillness inside all of me ~ body, mind, heart and soul. It lingers even now and I pray that I may keep this memory within my being always.

Now, this August 7th, I know I have not totally returned to my life. The old has passed away and now I have been invited into a new Domain of Love. Now I know what Hildegard of Bingen felt when she wrote, “The feather flew, thus am I a feather on the breath of God.”
