      To Practice 

      • Prayerfully re-read these passages again in the manner of Lectio Divina, reading them aloud to engage more of your senses and feel the vibrations in your body. What do you hear for your journey now?
      • Watch this 4.5-minute video where Thomas Keating describes the level of consciousness where opposites are reconciled and resolved.
      • Practice holding situations or people you don’t understand, as well as paradoxes and contradictions in silence, stillness and compassion. Let go of judging or fixing or worrying. Practice the Welcoming Prayer if sensations and emotions are arising, helping you to “embrace this moment as it is.”

      “When love holds the scale, it stops working.”  When homeless encampments are cleared, it is so easy for me to take sides, to portray some as victims and others as persecutors.   The invitation is to hold the situation in love, to find that deeper place where compassion resides.

      Hello, just a suggestion, if any of you may, like me, allow the Spirit to take us  to surprising depths with such as ” The Fall of Freddie the Leaf”, by Leo Buscaglia. You can access an ad-free pdf copy.  The sub title is “A Story for all ages”Where I live we are being dazzled by  outburst of color as our prelude to winter. In addition, this year northern lights add a night time dazzle.  Though this time is a time of struggle for me, “dazzle/joy/delight are almost too much! I am learning not to question the Holy Spirit, who knows the right balance.

      Here in Canada this weekend Thanksgiving weekend. In this season of the gathering of abundance, the harvest is gathered, zillions of colored leaves around every corner, fill our day as do the fabulous dancing light in our night skies, all invitng us to be present to PRESENCE. So, as I am thankful, grateful, blessed, I hold in this PRESENCE all  who are living disrupted lives, enveloping all in PROVIDENCE‘s tender mercy.

      The invitation is to respond with love instead of reacting with fear.

      May the Spirit of hope and healing free us from fear to Love and Peace.

      “Love beholds emanations of light and beauty even in the dire and distressing.” I can affirm this is most certainly true. <3 linda
