6. Day 10: Let The Stillness Feed You
Holy Spirit I feel kind of stuck in this extending love to tiredness because honestly, I want to NOT feel tired. I want to feel whole, abundant well being and frankly tiredness is really missing the mark. I suppose it is obvious but right at this moment, I am too tired to extend love to tiredness. Whether it is me or not I just want to sit here and do nothing. For some reason I feel like I just got an inner high five. Is this what I need to “do” more of, nothing? Please speak to me about my practice this month and how I can see tiredness differently and be at peace with both...

I notice immediately that if my bedfellow, tiredness, is going to get out of bed then I must connect to something deeper, truer, more whole that tiredness allows me to feel. For this reason I am returning to another practice gleaned from my Voice for Love ministerial study and the Five Steps to Hearing Gods Voice. Step 1 is Extend love to your thoughts. Step 2 is Feel the Holy Spirit. I remembered how incredible the first times I became aware of Holy Spirit as a feeling, or feelings. I feel as if, perhaps, I have drifted away from that tangible remembrance of feeling Holy Spirit and am...

In my recent post Tiredness Is A Tunnel To Truth I wrote of my ever present companion tiredness. I have been noticing how often I say or think “I’m tired” or “I am exhausted” or the after-hours version “I’m pooped” or knackered, without oxygen, dead, flat or fried.

As I neared the end of my month of extending love to EVERY DAY I couldn’t help but notice the other EVERY DAY in my life was tiredness. Or was it? This month I am devoting to extending love to FEAR AS...

A funny thing happened on the way to extending love to the fear of EVERY DAY…..I have begun to accept the idea of EVERY DAY as just what is. EVERY DAY is not special, separate, set aside or hallowed apart because it is happening all the time. I have talked to many people about this every day quality of life that we shy from or are even afraid of. Here are some of the reasons I have noticed we all tend to agree as to why every-day-ness might get to us: 1. boredom 2. tired 3. too busy 4. the feeling someone is “making” me do this 5. there are other things I want to think...

Yesterday was the 100th anniversary of the day Britain’s involvement in World War I began. From this distance we are able to comment, commemorate, honor and remember all that each one experienced during that war. I spoke yesterday of feeling somewhat overwhelmed at what felt like “once in a lifetime” experiences. The Great War, WWI, was thought to be a once in a lifetime experience. Yet this was not so. We continue again and again to come to the brink in conflict as we wade through our consciousness into the light. It is our collective fear of EVERY DAY that keeps us...
