Reflection #sundaynightcandlelight 29th – 30th Jun

I planted seeds some time ago. They have been rooting in the dark soil, reaching their flowering potential.

Today I see the first opening, first light,  blossoming.

And now I wait to see how this unfolds. Knowing I made these wishes, these prayers, then forgot.  Then noticed, with childlike curiosity, bubbling, at what is about to be.

Nothing is lost, the beginning is the past, the unfolding is the future, the opening is here.

Contemplation #sundaynightcandlelight 22nd -23rd June

Every morning we hold the opportunity to pursue new choices and options. When creativity meets this belief we see fresh possibilities, new light, a slant on a perspective, an opening in a narrow route of an opinion. A thought is a choice, a narrative that can be reshaped, a truth that can be nourished and fed from the heart.

Truth can be seen as a Becoming. It is moveable, changeable and exquisite.   Truth is an internal creative process. Our Truth doesn’t need words, it just needs our Love.

The world wide web #sundaynightcandlelight 8th – 9th June

Nothing exists in itself or by itself, for the world is a vast tapestry woven of relations.

Not even the smallest strand in this web can be tugged without affecting all the myriad strands and interdependencies to which it is connected, and of which it is composed.

This is true of matter and it is also true of the nature of the human body and the psyche that animates it.

“All that is born, all that is created, all the elements of nature are interwoven and united with each other.”

Jean Yves Leloup, The Gospel of Mary Magdalene.

Blessings, Contemplation for #sundaynightcandlelight 1st – 2nd June

Blessed be the longing that brought you here and quickens your soul with wonder.
May you have courage to listen to the voice of desire that disturbs you when you have settled for something safe.
May you have the wisdom to enter generously into your own unease to discover the new direction your longing wants you to take.
May the forms of your being – in love, creativity and friendship  be equal to the grandeur and the call of your soul.
May the one you long for long for you.
May your dreams gradually reveal the destination of your desire.
May a secret Providence guide your thought and nurture your feeling.
May your mind inhabit your life with the sureness with which your body inhabits the world.
May your heart never be haunted by ghost- structures of old damage.
May you come to accept your longing as divine urgency.
May you know the urgency with which God longs for you.
