I find people have difficulty in expressing the spiritual dimension of their life. The qualities of mystery and the immaterial is somewhat confounding or disarming. These often remain dormant memories whose significance and beauty is forgotten. Most people have knowingly had a spiritual experience, or several.
In this Spirit we live and move and have our being. This Spirit is the dynamic life of creation within all matter. This is our wholeness the union and acceptance of our undivided unity of spirit.ĭaily we cultivate this personal relationship with our spirit and come to recognise and relate to the spiritual. We must learn to be sensitive to the spirit within us, to respond and embrace the realitity of the unique way in which each of us come into being in both body and spirit. Yet the spirit is the life force of the body. We talk about spiritualities and religions as things out there. Yet so many of us do not engage in an ongoing relationship with the spirit. The murmuring heart is constantly in dialogue speaking to us of things not known by the mind. These very moments often leave a marked impression, but may remain hidden and mysterious.

It connects my fragmentary intuitions with some tessalated thoughts and makes new patterns from my heart, my prayer and my way of being and breathing life. (Wow that ticks lots of my boxes.) I find that poetry is a way of praying and saying deep things from the heart. A poet, story teller, fabric artist and an inspiring Christian minister involved in Piecing Stories Ministries and a retreat leader. I am really interested in Cynthia Langston Kirk. Cynthia Langston Kirk is quoted in “Living the Questions: The Wisdom of Progressive Christianity”. This poem “Stripped by God” © 2007 by Rev.
Stripped of all that holds me at a distance from you To leave my tiny vocabulary at the entranceĭisrobed of self-righteousness and tidy packages, Would God be diminished if I lived a question What if the cave was too large to be fully known,įar too extensive to be comprehended by one What if I entered and it looked different
Nose first, eyes peeled, heart hesitantly following
Loose change card game directions for hearts full#
Grabbed a thermos half full of fortitude,Īnd crawled into the cave of the Almighty Would God be diminished if I lived a question….
