Wilderness

“In silence all of our usual patterns assault us… that is why most people give up rather quickly. When Jesus was led by the spirit into the wilderness, the first thing to show up were the wild beasts.” ~ Richard Rohr

What wild beasts show up for you?

Dreamer

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world. ~ Harriet Tubman

What is your great dream?

Art making

“The process of art-making or prayer becomes a journey of discovery, where we open ourselves to what is being revealed moment by moment, rather than what we hope or expect to see.” ~ Christine Valters Paintner

What is your journey of discovery?

Discover…

“I discovered the Sabbath isn’t about what is done or left undone as much as breathing in the goodness of God. The more I inhale the more I desired another long breath.“ ~ Margaret Feinberg

How do you breathe in?

Blessing

… A blessing can be like the discovery of a fresh well. It would be lovely if we could rediscover our power to bless one another I believe each of us can bless. When a blessing is invoked it changes the atmosphere.…The quiet eternal that dwells in our souls is silent and subtle; in the activity of blessing it emerges to embrace and nurture us. ~ John O’Donohue

How do you bless?
