“The root energy of love sustaining all, the light which drives creation and the light by which we know it, become one in Christ.” —Cynthia Bourgeault, Mystical Hope

I’ve come to the point in the seven-theme project that I’m close to wrapping it up. Just like reading the final chapter of a good book, I don’t want it to come to an end.

So, what do I do? I pick up on another project, trusting that the next mountain will move me, too.

In days to come
the mountain of YHWH’s house
will be established as the highest of the mountains,
and raised above the hills;
all the nations will stream toward it.
—Isaiah 2:2

In mountain moments,
peace comes unexpectedly,
convergent oneness.

When have you sensed flow in your art?

We’re hosting a yoga retreat group at the Guild this week. There’s been a lot of attention toward breath.

Breath of Life, River of Life…

Genesis 2:7 ~ Creativity breathes into substance a living being.

Cynthia Bourgeault writes, “Visualize [righteousness] as a force field: an energy-charged sphere of holy presence. To be ‘in the righteousness of God’ (as Old Testament writers are fond of saying) means to be directly connected to this vibrational field, to be anchored within God’s own aliveness.” ~from Richard Rohr’s Daily Meditation

Gratitude becomes us.

I saw similar words from Rev. William Jay, “What gratitude becomes you,” and tweaked them just a bit.

Notes from Living Word Lutheran Church’s 1:00 Good Friday worship… Thanks be to God it is only in the shadow of the cross that we kneel.

Isaiah 53:4-6 (NRSV)

⁴Surely he has borne our infirmities
    and carried our diseases;
yet we accounted him stricken,
    struck down by God, and afflicted.
⁵But he was wounded for our transgressions,
    crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the punishment that made us whole,
    and by his bruises we are healed.
⁶All we like sheep have gone astray;
    we have all turned to our own way,
and the Lord has laid on him
    the iniquity of us all.
