looking out one of the doors of the Boston Public Library at Trinity Episcopal Church.
Good MORNING God!
HOME! Ta Da! Sound the TRUMPETS! I am PRAISING YOU, GOD, with cymbals and trumpets and hosannahs — albeit, silently, as the neighbors are asleep.
Kit is running the Bill Beauchamp 10k this morning while I will do laundry and perhaps jog? One thing I know, God, is how good it is to BE OUTDOORS.
There is nothing like being on planes for hours and hours to make one aware of how good it is to be outdoors — breathing fresh air — seeing green growing things. We have lost our primal connection with nature, haven’t we, God.
In Ireland 40 percent of the population is engaged in farming. In the EU the farmers are protected. It is not, of course, an easy life — but it strikes me as a deeply connected life. It is a life in which the Body takes an essential / needed role in the production of the food it requires.
This photo, looking out of the Library and at the Church brings together two foundation pillars of civilization — both of whom have failed to give our bodies their due. Is that a little harsh, God? I don’t mean it as harsh. In fact, I didn’t even mean to say it. It came as a surprise to me.
Perhaps it would be more helpful to say that the BALANCING of mind, body and heart is CHALLENGING! Sigh. Impossible without Your help? Impossible without our attunement to Your Holy Spirit?
Attunement is defined as a harmonious or responsive relationship. Ahaa, God! I WANT THAT WITH YOU!
I want that FIRST and FOREMOST — and then let all the rest flow out of that — flow out into this Beloved World.
Story teller,
A Moment with God
