Weaving our stories

"It is absolutely crucial, therefore, to keep in constant touch with what is going on in your own life's story and to pay close attention to what is going on in the stories of others' lives. If God is present anywhere, it is in those stories that God is present. If God is not present in those stories, then they are scarcely worth telling."

how easy it is to go through life unaware

of self

of others

of the sacred

how easy it is to go through the routine

(what’s yours?)

of getting up

feeding horses

checking the computer

breakfast

coffee……

no!  wait!

coffee

breakfast

work

home

tv or book

walk

bed

rewind

do it again

but within that familiar plot

is written

our life story

and our life story touches other stories

and all of this

is in the context of the sacred

which gives us breath

and gives us The Breath

and so

and so, and so

it is

important

that we walk through each day

not so much with our minds full of the mundane

but mindful

of the Sacred Presence

and of our true selves

and of those around us

and where the ruach

the cosmic energy is blowing us

I want to weave a story

worth the telling!
