“ Live the questions now and perhaps without knowing it you will live along someday into the answers.” ~ Rainer Maria Rilke
What are the questions you are living with?
Live the questions
Ordinary particles
All those days
you felt like dust,
like dirt,
as if all you had to do
was turn your face
toward the wind
and be scattered
to the four corners
.
or swept away
by the smallest breath
as insubstantial—
.
did you not know
what the Holy One
can do with dust? ~ Jan Richardson
Heaven opened
“You should utter words as though heaven were opened within them and as though you did not put the word into your mouth, but as though you had entered the word .” ~ Martin Buber
How do you enter the word?
Imagination
Adapting an idea from Erica Bauermeister, “The problem with imagination is that while we like to think of it like a bird, flying free across an infinite sky, the reality is that it will always be tethered to the branch of what we already know.”
Where is your imagination tethered?
Prayer
“Prayer is a way of life which allows you to find a stillness in the midst of the world where you open your hands to God’s promises, and find hope for yourself.” ~ Henri Nouwen
How do you live prayer?
Adventure
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?
