The Wonder of Pentecost

 

CAN YOU FEEL IT?

Love, dancing like fire. Have you ever written a song, whispered softly, known the peace, known just what to do? Have you ever discovered the courage flowing in you like a river? Have you ever stepped up, made a difference, lit a brave candle in the dark? Have you ever weeped?

Can you feel it? The power, the passion, the freedom, the joy, the wonder, when we flow with each other, with the birds, the plants, the trees, the stars and planets, the waves, each sunshine dappled new day, the rain , the wild wind and the pounding heartbeat of the universe ?

Have you ever looked up in awe? Have you ever cried out for help and found the healing?

This is Pentecost.

No matter how desperate

 

No matter how desperate your situation,

May you find peace,

May it help you bear the unbearable,

May it help you tolerate the intolerable,

May it help you hold on to life,

May it strengthen you,

May it comfort you,

May it surround you

And fill you with love.

Pentecost

Can you feel the Power of God at work at Pentecost? Open your hearts to receive His Spirit. Flow in the ever present awesome energy of Love and Mercy that flows out from the Cross for all time. 

Let us rejoice in the coming of the Spirit. Than trust in His guidance. Feel alive in your whole being. Let love help you transcend all suffering and still find hope, that ignites possibility, brings you to new understanding, blesses you forever more. Amen

Tenderness

I am struck by how hard we are on ourselves : "Oh, if only you knew how I really am..." "If only you knew my many failings, if only you knew my thoughts..." "It's all a show, I am a fraud through and through, how could anyone , if they REALLY knew me, love me ?"

Be tender, be gentle to yourself, let your love and your light shine, be free of all that negative self judgement and self flagellation!

Tenderness is at the heart of survival in the situation that we find ourselves in and tenderness is at the heart of caring .

The tenderness we are talking about, within the context of unspeakable pain, irritability, hypersensitivity ,struggle, is ultimately like the tenderness and vision of a child, trusting that all will be well, trusting in growth, trusting in love, trusting in goodness, trusting in God-with-us.

Each moment is an opportunity to regard each other in tenderness, despite our suffering.

Each moment is an opportunity for a sacred, healing moment of connection.

Stillness, a very holy moment

May you find time to be still and find oneness with your environment and know the peace of God. Amen

Here we share a video Greg made about the joy and peace you can find just sitting still on a bench.

If you can find time to be still and soak up the peace of now, may it fill you and bless you. Amen
