God brought me out into an open place; God equipped me, because God delighted in me. ~ Psalm 18:19
Where do you find open space?
Spaciousness
Invisible power
Air, wind, breath, Spirit – all invisible and without form or color or texture yet giving life and shape to everything.
How are you invisibly sustained?
Journeying to our feet
And the world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles, no matter how long, but only by a spiritual journey, a journey of one inch, very arduous and humbling and joyful, by which we arrive at the ground at our feet, and learn to be at home. ~ Wendell Berry
What does this journey require?
Time of different quality
“What we really need is a time of a different quality. We need the kind of time that is measured in a yearly round of feasts and fasts…and in a day that ends and begins anew as a line of darkness creeps across the edge of the earth.” ~ Dorothy C. Bass
How do you keep time of a different quality?
Complete
“No” is a complete sentence. ~Anne Lamott

Encounters
“Our encounters with strangers—the unknown, the unexpected, foreign elements that spark our fear—are precisely the places where we are most likely to encounter God.” ~ Christine Valters Paintner
