God Immanent in Man - Paragraph 1
When the Presence that lives within us feels more like a black hole than a light, how do we trust it? This week I explore both Roberts and Metz on the terrifying grace of the unknown, and the quiet beckoning that can reshape a life from the inside out.
God in Nature - Paragraph 18
This week’s reflection explores the facets of the holy, the art of naming our experience with clarity, and the gentle invitations that arise when we’re finally moving slowly enough to feel them.
The Unfinished Self: Embrace Your Lifelong Project
Have you ever noticed how our world encourages constant acquiring, equating “more” with “better”? This belief shapes how we approach personal transformation as we often think it’s about gaining something new.
In reality, transformation is about letting go and discovering what is already within us. Rather than accumulating, transformation is the process of moving from doing to being, of uncovering our true nature.
God in Nature - Paragraphs 11 and 12
Yes, for today it is enough to just be with what is arising in my experience, whether that be grief, sadness, joy or delight. The journey is to be awake to it all and what a delight that we are granted such a gift. Today I am grateful for the opportunity to experience life fully. I do believe that is what Jesus meant by an abundant life.
God in Nature - Paragraphs 9 and 10
What this text invites me into is a continued journey towards clarity. For those of you who know the Enneagram you know that the Enneagram Nine can be diffuse and even foggy, not only in their thinking but in their expression of life. As a Nine, this is true for me, and I have practiced bringing more presence, thus more clarity, to conversations, events, and life so that I can actually discern what is happening and respond appropriately. It is a process, like learning a whole new skill set, but one that is very exciting when I remember to do it.
