Fourth. Full Moon. Freedom For All.

Good morning... Waking in the wee hours of this July 4th, I snap a photo of the full moon beaming bright above our darkened world. Fourth. Full moon. Freedom for all. My mind is drawn back to a phrase shared in our blog post a few days ago: "Trail of Tears." "The Trail of Tears was an ethnic [...]

What Lies Ahead?

Good morning... As we walked around the horse farm, we talked candidly about the unstoppable transitions closing in on each of us. We shared our fears, our insecurities, our mistakes, and our doubts. At one moment along the path, we naturally stopped for a tender, tearful embrace. It felt right, totally right, enveloping each other in a hug, [...]

What Consumes You?

Good morning... "From the center of our innermost being, we are transformed to transform the world with the gifts of God," concluded yesterday's post. "Power. Love. Self-control." After pushing "send" on our message, I climbed back into bed for my second sleep. As if the heart of the Spirit skipped no beat, upon my second waking, the title [...]

Finding Our Way Forward

Good morning... A few Fridays back, we gathered to mark the end of another magnificent semester of learning with God. Several of us met in person and the rest of us were bonded in Spirit from afar. All of us recognized, "There is so much to celebrate from this spring season together." To that end, we decided to [...]

I Am Where I Need To Be

Good morning... For the first time, I notice something that has likely been there all along. At the end of my friend's email, below her name, title, and business, rests a short quote by Mary Mrozowski. "I am where I need to be. Everything around me includes and hides the sacred." How freeing it would be to live [...]

Watching Our Son Grow

Good morning... This Mother's Day week, I marvel at the way God is growing our youngest son. Finishing strong his junior year at the University of Georgia, Jeremiah has grown in some very significant ways. Initiative. Motivation. Expanding an idea outside the traditional box. After doing various odd jobs over the past several summers and removing Christmas trees [...]

When It Came Time To Leave

Good morning... Thoroughly enjoying our final Monday class, we read aloud some of our favorite passages from The Other Side of Chaos by Margaret Silf. The fourteenth chapter is entitled Yesterday Is Already Ours. This enduring truth - yesterday is already ours - is embedded in us as we walk away from a transformative season together. Now let's [...]

Just Like Bath Water

Good morning... Over the past twenty-four hours, I have reminded myself repeatedly, "Be a reservoir." When I was tempted to talk too much . . . then decided to listen instead, "Be a reservoir." When I crafted a long confusing text . . . before deleting it, "Be a reservoir." When I felt sucked into the middle of [...]

Live Like A Reservoir

Good morning... We meet monthly as a small group of spiritual directors, learning to listen keenly for the movement of God. Practicing a new-to-me way of focusing our attention, yesterday I said, "I would need to repeat this way of listening, regularly, by myself, processing my own experiences and gradually building up my inner resources, before I would [...]

Steve Says, “This Is The Day.”

Good morning... "This is last night at 9 pm," said the heading above the photo taken by my 'soul friend' from her front porch in Norway. The lingering patches of snow. The grounded boat dreaming of summer. The wrapped up car protected from harshness. The modest homes nestled beside the water. The mystical mountain range touched by a [...]
