The human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged by human hand.
Where do you encounter such places?
Untamed
At home
Sometimes we are at home with ourselves. Sometimes we are not. When we are in a space of deep peace and spiritual groundedness our actions flow without effort. No matter the chaos around us. We know when we are living from that space. We can tell.
What happens when we engage all our work from that at-home-ness?
Infinitely loved
“You need something more to comfort you in brokenness when the pain is tall around you, to remind you that even here, you are infinitely loved. ~ Morgan Harper Nichols
What are the signs that speak comfort to you?
Fluent
I would love to live
Like a river flows,
Carried by the surprise
Of its own unfolding. ~ John O’Donohue
What are the surprises in your unfolding?
Know who
“What exactly does it mean to have a relationship-centric approach to constructive social change? I have come to believe that the answer lies with how we approach and understand relational spaces in a given geography, the fabric of human community broadly defined as the crisscrossing connections of people, their lives, activities, organizational modalities, and even patterns of conflict.” ~ John Paul Lederach, Moral Imagination
What are the “who” connections in your geography?
Caterpillar
If I spent enough time with the tiniest creature –
even a caterpillar –
I would never have to prepare a sermon.
So full of God is every creature. ~ Meister Eckart
Where do you find the fullness of God?
