Connection
At our closing retreat for Living From The Heart
I sit observing – an easy and eager posture for me
Gathering cohort friends
cultivating over nine months of interacting
reflecting, holding, inspiring
challenging, reading, stretching
Beyond an expected familiarity
I witness connection — an ease of being together
stimulating conversations, exploring questions
extending receptivity, embracing hearts
offering trust, respecting stories
evaporating judgments
collaborating with life in unfolding moments
greeting the hummingbird, basking in nature
preparing meals, savoring nourishment
feeling seen, willing to be heard
recalling Merton — we do not find the meaning in life by ourselves alone, we find it with another
singing our prayers, praying our songs
sharing love through creative blessings
holding silence, passing peace
sitting at the feet of the One whose prayer echoes — may they be one as we are one
I wonder
I smile
I connect
Peace and love to you in this good day.
John
