This week these two phrases on a a walk though of my life back to my childhood: “the way of conscious love” and :”the most excellent way” via the image. Some thirty or so years ago I began to explore the significance of colors and shapes as in naming one’s experiences. The color brown signifies fertilization for me; the brown letters reminds me of branding ( cattle for instance or soldiers in the Roman Army). The seal of the Divine is being branded deep within my being. Those brown shapes perhaps searing of branding flames around the heart. Where I live fertilizers are very important in producing plants of all sorts. Could it be that the evacuations of my Indwelling Spirit produces a fertilizer, searing more deeply into me the very image of God deep within. It seems each time I consent to confront the insufficiencies of my ego/shadow self, something is burned away making room for more letting go to claim the gem of mercy: “By showing mercy, we increase the mercy we receive.” My heart is being challenged to lavish mercy and to be open the receiving of mercy in the depth of my being.
