Bow to the sweet surprise then dance in her fullness. #surprise #vondadreesart
Sacred Geometry... what a fascinating class this was! Thank you, Bonnie Klatt! #sacredgeometry #flow #riverflow #vondadreesart
From Richard Rohr’s June 20, 2018 Daily Meditation: “To acknowledge the divinity of another, we must first accept our own, which is not nearly as easy as it sounds. . . . Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield [writes]: ‘Our belief in a limited and impoverished identity is such a strong habit that without it we are afraid we wouldn’t know how to be. If we fully acknowledged our dignity, it could lead us to radical life changes. It could ask something huge of us.’ ... I don’t believe hell or heaven to be post-life destinations. I believe they are states of consciousness largely visible here and now. A world of objects is a kind of hell. A world of subjects—divine beings honoring the divinity in the other—is surely heaven. May we point our feet toward this heaven and begin the hard and necessary work of walking there.” #namaste #imagodei #heaven #justice #vondadreesart
Compassion lifts us up from Her Infinite Source, bearing beams of love. Are there beams of love you are called to carry today? #compassion #vondadreesart
Today we begin the Guild’s Summer Program 2018. Our theme is River Flow. If you’ve happened to catch any of my recent posts, you might be wondering, if the theme is River Flow, why so much red and yellow? I wonder that too. Perhaps I need to pay more attention to the humble river’s flow. #riverflow #presence #vondadreesart
“How should we understand big things? By looking closely at small things. How should we understand God’s Community? By looking at its seeds among us.” ~Fran Pratt, Litany for the Seed These words bring to mind and heart a photo of a small child crying at a chain linked fence that’s being shared on social media these days. Lord, have mercy on the families being torn apart. Christ, have mercy on us all. Lord, have mercy. #seed #love #welcome #openingdoors #vondadreesart
“With no respect / for locks and boundaries, / lacking limits and loosening tongues, / we are impassioned / to speak peace to each heart / and breathe openness to every confinement...” ~Joe Grant, In the Storm Still #spirit #openingdoors #vondadreesart
Are we willing to stretch? “Authentic love will not allow us to continue to ask the rest of the world to put itself at the mercy of our conveniences.” ~Richard Rohr This image began with the phrase “into new territory “ under the sun. The word “territory” carries, for me, heavy baggage, so I blotted it out and added “choose to live differently” above the sun. Not necessarily a pretty image, it’s one that clawed its way into being. #justice #mercy #vondadreesart
“Changed from glory into glory, ‘til in heaven we take our place, ‘til we cast our crowns before thee, lost in wonder, love and praise.” Pondering being caught up in the flow of essence, pondering being “chainged” after reading Jim Kruse’s homily during Guild Founder Rich Caemmerer’s memorial service. #transformation #community #love #trinity #vondadreesart
