“Don’t shrink. Don’t puff up. Just stand your sacred ground.” ~ Brené Brown
How do find that space?
Just stand
Slowing
The beauty of art is that it allows you to slow down, and for a moment, things that once seemed unfamiliar become precious to you. ~ Kehinde Wiley
What do you notice when you slow down?
Look to the little birds
Every bird has a song to sing, each are given wings to fly and soar. Sparrow, robin or wren have what they need, ask the birds of the sky and they will tell you.
What is your song to sing?
Free fall
“On the front end, it hurts. Leaving my to-do lists alone. Trusting the universe will continue its forward motion without my intervention. Demonstrating that it is God who sustains me and not my own efforts. Sabbath is like the scary free fall of faith, in microcosm. And it is good for our hearts to practice. It gets easier.” ~ Marcia Lebhar
What might you leave alone?
With roots
whatever you have to say, leave
the roots on, let them
dangle
And the dirt
Just to make clear
where they come from ~ Charles Olson, These days
What do you notice?
Untamed
The human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged by human hand.
Where do you encounter such places?
With the Eyes of the Heart
