Bring your treasure

At http://www.jphilipnewell.com, J. Philip Newell refers to a passage from his book Christ of the Celts: the Healing of Creation. It was during a conversation with a native leader, as Casa del Sol retreat centre in the high desert of New Mexico was being conceived, that he asked,

“'What is it I am to bring to the table of humanity? What am I to bring to our relationship in this place?' He answered very simply, and very challengingly:

'Philip, bring your treasure, bring Christ.'”
