What bends our heart toward adventure? Is the ground already shaking and we balance with slightly bended knees? Do our memories nudge us forward or our desires pull us into journeys? What draws us toward that first step?
Adventure
Fallow corner
“Let mystery have its place in you; do not be always turning up your whole soil with the plowshare of self-examination, but leave a little fallow corner in your heart ready for any seed the winds may bring, and reserve a nook of shadow for the passing bird; keep a place in your heart for the unexpected guests, an altar for an unknown God.” ~ Henri-Frédéric Amiel
Where do you hold space for mystery?
Fragile
“We are fragile creatures, and it is from this weakness, not despite it, that we discover the possibility of true joy.” ~ Archbishop Desmond Tutu
How do you find joy in the fragile spaces?
Stay
“Wait with your hands open
to receive what could never come
except to what is empty
and hollow.” ~ Jan Richardson
What are your hollow spaces?
The road
“The road seen, then not seen, the hillside hiding
then revealing the way you should take,
the road dropping away from you as if leaving you
to walk on thin air, then catching you, holding you up,
when you thought you would fall, and the way forward
always in the end the way that you came, the way
that you followed…” ~ David Whyte
What is your road hiding and revealing?
Point of silence
“As with most great communicators, God knows that the point of silence and the pause between sentences is not to give the audience the chance to fill the silence with empty babbling but to help create more depth to the conversation.” ~ Renite J. Weems
How do you reach depth?
